    And yeah I was off on the wording on the pump. What you posted is correct.
    The way it read it sounded like you had a little bit of hope that it had more octane.

    Correct.

    And on the note of more octane, too much octane will cost you horsepower. Higher octane is harder to ignite, so people who run 93 in a car designed to run on 87 are actually hurting horsepower.

    well... i feel a difference with my gas and i dont give a **** what ppl say but check this **** out!!!!!!


    The following gas companies import Middle Eastern oil:

    Shell.....................................205,742, 000 barrels
    Chevron/Texaco...................144,332,000 barrels
    Exxon /Mobil.........................130,082,000 barrels

    Marathon/Speedway...............117,740,000 barrels
    Amoco...................................... 62,231,000 barrels

    And CITGO oil is imported from Venezuela by Dictator Hugo Chavez
    who hates America and openly avows our economic destruction!
    (We pay Chavez's regime nearly $10 Billion per year in oil revenues!)

    The U.S. currently imports 5,517,000 barrels of crude oil per day from
    OPEC. If you do the math at $100 per barrel, that's over $550 million
    PER DAY ($200 BILLION per year!) handed over to OPEC, many of whose
    members are our confirmed enemies!!!!!

    It won't stop here - oil prices could go to $200 a barrel or higher if we
    keep buying their product.

    Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
    Sunoco......................... 0 barrels
    Conoco.......................... 0 barrels
    Sinclair.....//................ 0 barrels
    BP / Phillips.................. 0 barrels
    Hess............................. 0 barrels
    ARC0............................. 0 barrels
    Maverick....................... 0 barrels
    Flying J.......................... 0 barrels
    Valero........................... 0 barrels
    Murphy Oil USA *......... 0 barrels

    Well i switched to Safeway cause $0.07 discount/L - but dont think its worth it - worse MPG ever. Stopped using after 3 Tanks.

    I use FastGas mostly ($0.03/L card that adds up and then use)

    I try to stay away from Shell cause they are usually the first ones to raise prices here, but might give them a try.

    HighOctaneRacing: I see your mom figured out how to email chain letters.
    Irridium spark plugs last 100k mi and work just as well as copper. Copper is a waste on N/A and only lasts 15k mi. Don't use Platinum.
    Use 195* tstat unless you can thoroughly explain why not; 99.9% don't need a lower temp.
    Almost any oil filter, ever, is of higher quality than ACDelco. Spend $6+.
