c'mon now...u can EASILY rate gas by their additives...7-11 and AM-PM = bad...shell, maybe chevron = good...i used to put only shell in...but now that my baby's w/ me in socal there aren't any shells...so i use chevron...but if u keep switching gasses then u keep introducing ur car to diff additives and thas gotta screw something up...much better to keep it running on the same stuff

Dont know if you guys get Shell Optimax but over here its the highest rating at 98.1RON, although BP are supposed to be bringing a fuel called "Ultimate" which is rated at 100

Wawa


it's the cheapest gas possible in the Philly-NJ area. The one in wildwood is consistenly 20-30 cents below the average for this area.


if no wawa, i goto mobil, if no mobil anything will do.

Not in any Honda except the new Accord V6 unless you're running a higher CR or forced induction. Judging by your "carbon fiber altezzas" and "weapon-r intake", I'd say you're just dumb.

I only use Sunoco 94 gas. Other brands seem to make my car run like ass because of whatever they add to the gas. But Sunocos seems to have less shit put in it.

NEGATIVE

The higher the Octane rating, the less prone it is to pre-detonate. The family Accord V6 used to take only 91, now it takes 87. There is no difference in power.

Higher Octane gas will not necessarily make you faster. :hammer:
