WTF!!! Super WaWa dropped 93 and now 92 Octane is their top grade? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

ScoobyNubieToo! · 08-22-2007, 11:28 PM

I just went to WaWa to fill'er up with my usual 93 in my WRX and teh gas station attendant informs me that they dropped 93 about month ago and replaced it with 92....WTF! This really blows because I'm running the 94 Octane Cobb map and Shell dropped 94 long ago and now WaWa is dropping 93.
This blows!

If you are filling at a bargain pump, chances are the octane rating is lower than posted anyway.

ScoobyNubieToo! · 08-22-2007, 11:34 PM

WaWa is like the only gas station anywhere near my house.
Only option is drivng about 20 minutes away.

**TROLL** · 08-22-2007, 11:38 PM

can you flash to a lower rated map? the whole ethanol percentage in our fuel is messing with stuff already... emissions are going to get tighter and tighter and its going to make driving performance cars harder and harder

ScoobyNubieToo! · 08-22-2007, 11:40 PM

I guess were gonna be just like California in a few more years and be stuck with sh**ty gas

I can flash a lower octane map....I just gotta pickup a new COBB AP cable since I bork3d mine.

Ooops you're right....

The 20 minute drive is worth it to get away from the wawa gas. That stuff leaves residue in your engine.

ScoobyNubieToo! · 08-23-2007, 07:10 AM

Yeah I know, I'm just worried that other gas stations are going to follow suit too. Gonna suck if you can't get anything but 91 like Calif. Blah!

CHAOS · 08-23-2007, 07:16 AM

there are still some stations around with 93

lol nastysock is horrible man, you should know that by now

I realized this the other day when I went to seaside. Totally blows.

MPowerKai · 08-23-2007, 07:52 AM

Don't fill up when you're empty, fill up when you are going home or going to work.

Buster · 08-23-2007, 08:36 AM

Haha were you excited to drive today Chris? I have yet to come to a gas station that doesnt have 93. I only go to Sunoco though. I miss my 94

HA ha....I miss the ol' 94 too. And yep (OT) I did put it on last night and I drove teh SUbie to work today. IC barely got hot! Awesome!

as much as it seems like brand name gas stations are just trying to get business by scaring you away from cheap gas, it's 100% true, WaWa and the like have horrible gas no matter what octane. it sucks, the very few times i've absolutely had to get gas anywhere besides the local sunoco, my car pinged, stuttered, jerked, you name it. it got so bad one time that i actually had to siphon out every drop that would come out, and fill with sunoco 94 (when they still had it) before it would go back to driving normal. it's kind of ridiculous considering the fact that my engine is basically stock, but JDM. I/H/E, and that's pretty much it. i can't imagine the rest of you guys who actually have tuned ECU's, turbo upgrades, etc.
