My car likes everything. I've never heard a knock or anything. Which is nice.

I don't see how cars can't like a certain company gasoline. Gasoline is the same. It's all petroleum from the EXACT same fields. Refining process may be a BIT different in different companies but it all comes out the same product.

Some companies have additives in their gas. They are not all the same.

agree with coupe 95

Whatever is cheapest.
After my swap I may have to change to "mid" grade gas though...

Dont think it matters much now. I believe stations have already started diluteing their gas in fears of a shortage and rising prices.

Sunoco 94+ ..

its alot better ... u'll notice that on the highway .. ur piston's runs more smoothly ... and give's better milage..
and its doesn't choke on my d17a..
it never went down to a 92+ before ... well maybe when i got it the dealer probably gave me 87 octane ... but after that it was all 94+ ...


and i think it runs great ... ....

I have to say that my engine prefers the ESSO 92. I usually fill up with the 94 as there are two stations on the way home from work, but if there was a close esso I would be there.

I've talked with some drag racers and they have said that the 92 from esso gives them better times than the 94. All I know is that my JDM b16a runs much smoother, sounds nicer, and pulls slightly harder with the 92.
