Yeah - thats why wawa is like 3 cents cheaper... and doesnt get my business for gas :wink:
Sunnoco will keep 93 Ultimate and I imagine BP will as well.

idk....it doesn't really matter to me...whatever the best gas is at the particular station i stop at is what is going in my take....i don't think going from 93 to 92 will make much of a difference

sunoco charges 10 cents more for 93 than 91... and i usually get gas at whatever station but all of them in my area are starting to swap to 92

i know this is a newb q but where do you get race gas?

I think Sunoco lists where to get their race gas on their site. Oh and WAWA sucks all of them have knocked down to 92.

I with you on this. I am not sure if they actually changed gas or were forced to measure the octane differently MON vs RON, hence the slightly lower number.

^yea thats my thoughts .. like the manufacturers being held to different standards for hp ratings
I have yet to see any 92 at the gas stations I go to....but maybe because I generally hit up the same stations all the time.
i've been getting 93 at sunoco, never bought wawa gas. sunoco by me has 87, 89, and 93

That's a really good point, didn't even occur to me.
So what stations has 92 been spotted at, let's see if there's a pattern.

I know I had to fill up with 92 at Sheetz in PA.
I'm glad 87 is only $2.27/gallon near me :).

The Sunoco in Chestnut Hill sales race gas and it comes out of a regular gas pump, but you cannot pump it directly into your car. It will cost you $6.99 a gallon. The station is rite off of Germantown Ave.

i haded when sunocco went from ultra 94 to ultra 93.
i used to loose sleep over that fact, i asked why they did that and they claimed 94 was gettin too $. i experimented with alot of gas brands since then and roxanne runs best on shell 93.....

I must say I've done the same thing with different gases and my car perfers Shell 93 also.
P.S Tell Roxanne she is welcome to meet my snake if she'd like. :lol:

The WAWA around the corner from me dropped there octane and charge the same amount.... Lately i've just been heading a few miles out to sonoco to get the 93. Atleast untill I install my Meth kit this week to bump my octane up.

eeefff this gas. I just got home and i did a little 4th gear pull at low speed. Got a ton of knock from 3400 till 3700 when i let off because it was so bad. I hate this.
no more wawa gas for me.
