Sunoco ultra 93 question
Total new be here I've only driven my new to me ZL1 56 miles so far.
Sunoco ultra 93 non ethanol gasoline has been recommended to me. When I went to fill up the sign on the pumps say ultra 93 but the selection button said minimum octane 90. So is this really 93 octane appears I may be running 90. Or am I just paranoid |

Paranoid. I only run 93 octane Sunoco ultra. My car runs great with it. I've be running for 3 years now and 5000 miles. Sometimes I add a little turco. Good luck

When I had my new Pontiac G8 GT ('09 - '14) and I used Sunoco 93 it would always throw a CEL. Visit to the dealership for code explanation and they told me it's the gas because Sunoco contains a lot of ethanol (up to 10% max). Now today I occasionally use Sunoco 93 in my '14 Ram 1500 5.7L V8 with no issues or problems.
From delivery of my '14 Camaro SS I only go to 'top tier' gas stations and get octane 93. For me locally it's Shell, Mobil, Exxon or BP. Top tier gas stations are under agreement / contract to include a specific treat rate and additives to the fuel. Click link for good info. http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers/

I used to run Sunoco Ultra 93 only. I still do if there is no Shell in the area. I really like the Shell 93 V-Power. But there is only two stations in my area.

I use Shell Vpower, I used to use Sunoco but I always felt the gas ran thru my tank really fast, sounds silly but, LOL. Seems the Shell lasts longer.

There is no such thing as 93 Non E anymore. They stopped making it. The highest octane you can get now in the non E is 90. The sticker on the pump is right.

If you were to use Torco, what would be the highest octane you'd want to go on a stock engine?
