Saw this article today, thought it was an interesting piece. SS 93 users look out for scams.

Notice the lady has a new Camaro in the video! She doesn't even want to drive it because of Gas Prices, what a shame.

Sorry for the dumb question but what does this have to do with 93 gasoline

Read the article attached it's not in the video.
Gas stations selling and charging for 93 Octane, but testing shows it's only 90.5 Octane.

Glad I live in Texas

fugimo · 05-12-2011, 01:05 PM

Here are the ten states that do not yet have a program in place to test the octane level and purity of gasoline:

Hawaii

Alaska

Idaho

Illinois

Kentucky

New Jersey

Oregon

Rhode Island

Vermont

West Virginia

Glad I don't live in any of those states.

You know with one of the highest gasoline taxes, sales taxes (in chicago) and property taxes and soon to be one of the highest state income taxes, you'd think that they'd spend some of that tax money on what appears to be a very common consumer protection practice...

Damn... If the US is doing this I imagine down here the 95 octane is probably like 22 octane.....

Bad70supreme · 05-12-2011, 01:46 PM

Thats because IL is FN joke! I hate living in IL... I cant belive how bad we get robbed here! Not to mention the weather sucks too, we get 3 months of summer now, and 9 months of winter.

haha, don't want to sound like a grumpy old man, but yes this year will be a short summer just like 2 years ago! besides the past few days we've had below average temps since the beginning of March rather consistently and this weekend it's supposed to go well below average again for the foreseeable future.

I'm surprised the BP isn't on the list. They advertise all the time that their gas has that "invigorate" crap in it.

Sunoco Canada makes the list but not Sunoco usa?
