I've used BP Premium for years, I'll go to Sunoco if I can't find one though.

to be honest, i have to say chevron, even ppl at the Honda Dealership says so, cuz they say, ppl who use chervon gas, their injectors have less carbon built up and such other stuff.

Isn't 76 Unocal or Mobil the best gasoline?

I've switched over to SHELL gas now (93).

I've got an 07 Si (coupe) now and I have to use premium gas.

I read that SHELL is a more better top tier gas anyways.

in my opinion i think chevron is the best. has anybody in here tried 100 octane before or heard of it ?

California uses a different blend of gas altogether than other states. That is why Cali gas in more expensive.

Also most states use different winter and summer blends. So the summer blend is also more expensive.

76 buys most of it's additives from chevron so their quality is similar. But I would go with Chevron for sure over Exxon/mobil.

To bad there are no Chevrons out her in Jersey

The octane rating has to do with the compression ratio of your engine. Generally speaking, you only need 91 if you are running around a 11:1 ratio or higher. The manufacturer does reccomend premium for my 1999 Si that runs a 10.6:1 compression ratio. But lower end civics use lower compression and 87should be fine.

Use what the manufacturer reccomends. Compression is not the only factor in what type of gas to use. For instance my motorcycle runs 12.1:1 compression and reccomends 87 octane.

If you put higher octane than it needs it will not hurt it. If you put lower octane than it needs it can hurt it.

I thought I was coming to this thread to yell at a newb for bumping old threads..

But your not a newb?

someone prolly voted to bump the thread

Hmm that's weird. I didn't look at the date when I posted. It was in the new post search for some reason. Must have been a glitch!

 
Rep Power: 513

Nah, that means someone voted. When you vote on a poll, it'll bump it without saying who it was. It'll just say who the last person that physically posted in the thread.

 
Rep Power: 209

Oh I see. Well it's good ressurect old threads sometimes. I am suprised at how misinformed some are about fuel. I guess that's why we join forums to begin with.

chevron and citgo are the best by far, then distant second is exxon/mobil and philips66, way at the bottom are texaco and shell. i should read that source again but i think this is correct. i always use chevron when possible. not all gas is the same.

Thanks for the info Riceboy.

I only fill up at Petro-Can, their regular gas is rated at 89 octance, instead of 87 like everywhere else. Chevron would be my second choice.

How much are you guys paying for gas, a filled up at $1.15 a liter today?

 
Rep Power: 513

$2.89/gallon over here

...If gas thats what gas cost here I'd buy a Hummer, just because I could afford it.

I use BP, RaceTrac, and Chevron, no difference at all; but when using Shell or Mobil/Exxon, my mpg goes down, way down, like 30% down.

 
Rep Power: 230

pfffff i'll let you guys know my secret formula, so you can go as fast as me. i do like 25% shell 91, 50% BP 86, and 25% nos energy drink. works every time! i drive like mega fast. my civic can even hit 70mph!

 
Rep Power: 286

In one thread your suggesting someone cut the roof off their car to go faster, and in this thread your talking about giving your car energy drinks?

If it weren't Tuesday, I'd swear you were drunk!

 
Rep Power: 230

hahaha, lol. maybe i was... =D. i'm sure everyone knew i was joking. but the cut off roof would work (just saying is all). XD

Really? They use gasoline as fuel on the space shuttle? And unleaded gas in Nascar? lol

That stuff is not even comparable to what we put in our cars, and on a whole different level of refinement.

 
Rep Power: 230

i thought the space shuttle used liquid oxygen and someth'in?

^ I know that the first stage is solid fuel like a model rocket uses.
