This subject has been beat to death on here. Most people don't realize that just because a gas station has a brand name sign, doesn't mean that's where the gas came from. It's hauled from where ever the broker can get a deal on it, then the additives make it a brand name spec gas.

Have fun down there, wish we had your weather up hear.

oh very cool! I hired in in January of 2007. Small, small world.

I just got off work this morning at 5am and when I went outside today I thought it'd be cold enough to wear pants...I was wrong, it was like 75 degrees today..haha. I'll enjoy the weather for ya.

This is great. Thanks to everyone for their input!

1CAMSS · 01-02-2010, 08:52 PM

i use 93 octane from any reputable gas stations with a low price in my ss.

SS 376 · 01-02-2010, 08:55 PM

Arco, which I think is a BP brand?

ArtfulDodger · 01-02-2010, 09:07 PM

Sunoco!

Ya, I think it is now. At least ownership wise, if that makes any sense.

So I live in Oklahoma City and my SS arrives this week. The highest octane we have here is 91. I know of one station that has 93 and it's about a 20 minute drive from my house. Would you all recommend I go for the 93 or is 91 good enough? Is there a noticeable performance difference between 91/93?

TommyTSquared · 01-03-2010, 10:25 PM

I'm running 91 out/down here in Lubbock. When I'm back home we have 93. I cannot tell any difference. I even added some booster when I got back up here, and still could not tell a difference in performance.

JohnInSoCal · 01-03-2010, 10:37 PM

there should be no difference at all between 91, 93, or 100 octane racing fuel because your SS is tuned for 91 octane gas. If you want to get a custom dyno tune and have 93 available then that's a different story but from the factory it's tuned for 91, adding 93 only costs you more money.

lol blanket statement? Are you assuming that pumps have 91 AND 93 (I'm sure they could somewhere... but this isn't always the case)? Where I've gotten gas 89 is midgrade, and either 91 or 93 is premium.

Just so you guys know, if you follow the fuel tanker truck from one gas station to the next, you will realize that no matter where you buy gas from it is the same. Shell, EXXON, raceway, ect... A Close friend of mine used to own a gas station and told me this and I didnt belive it... untill I followed the gas truck. Anybody that is brand loyal to a certain gas is...nevermind.
