When I had my GS-R I used Sunoco, 94 octaine.
With my new teg only 91.

 

I use the cheapest 94 Octane available. No pinging, knocking, or hesitation for me!

 

Sunoco 94 when I can find one...otherwise the local BP has 93:thumbup:

 

Sunoco around here has 94 octane. But its expensive. So I just go with 93 normally which is still expensive.

 

I don't really discriminate between gas brands. I just try to stay away from the ghetto ones...the rest I really don't give a damn.

 

Up here in Seattle Washington 76 carries a brand called "Cool Blue" 100 octane. Pretty damn expensive though about 5 bucks a gallon. I use 91.

 

Yeah you can buy cool blue from 76 now. And by the way I work in the gasoline industry, and just to let you all know, all gas stations buy the same gas. Nobody has a better gasoline than anyone else, cause there all using the same gas, just which ever vendor is selling it the cheapest. And with amaco and other similar companies advertising that there gasoline has additives for better engine performance, thats only in the premium gas.

 

This is partly true. My father was a chemical engineer with Exxon (now Exxon Mobil) in Bahrain. There are _a few_ crude oil refiners/suppliers that _a few_ other secondary supplies use in the States and North America. So not all stations get their gasonline/diesel from the same place...however, there are strict regulations that control parameters like additives/rust inhibitors/accelerants etc in all fuel sold, so in the end you should be fine anywhere. Unless you know a place is sketchy, any place is adequate.

 

heh... 87 is good enough for my LS. but for you so cal pple, there is a 76 gas station off the 110 ending in pasadena that sells 100 Octane race gas ... I see pple fill up on it occasionally

 

There is a place near here that has gas called cam2 that i'm pretty sure is 110 octane.
