Anything higher than 91 octane in the US?

rakked · 07-15-2005, 08:28 AM

I've never seen exactly 91 grade. Premium is always 93 here in MD.

scottz5 · 07-15-2005, 08:49 AM

NJ is also 93

Our local costco does not have gas. WaWa gas is a little cheaper around here.

Atlanta Ga..Premium ranges from 91 to 93, Mid grade always 89.

Race fuels with alot of octane, some are leaded.

In Calif....we 87, 89, and 91(replaced 93 a few years back because Calif. Politicians want cleaner burning fossil fuel....

Costco gas(ARCO) will give you slower acceleration....plus it gives you less mileage per a gallon....my personal experience.

The savings and the long WAIT in line is not worth it!

91, but you may have no other choice than to put in 93. Mid-grade 89 won't cut it.

Serious?...That's like a 3$ difference per fill up.

hey if you fill up once a week that could be upwards of $150 a year

Oh wait, nevermind that's still not very much money

JUST BUY PREMIUM be it 91 or 93

Hunter399 · 07-15-2005, 03:10 PM

Just filled up in Houston at Shell and the premium is 93.

CnoteMD · 07-16-2005, 12:11 AM

I think that 91 octane must be a west coast thing. Whenever I use premium on the east coast it's 93 octane (though Sunoco also sells 94).

In fact, the only time I've seen a pump with 91 octane on the east cost was at this really cheap gas station in the suburbs of Boston.

BellasBmw · 07-16-2005, 01:35 AM

In cali ive never seen anything above 91.. we USED to have 92..

I've used Costco gas more times than I can recall and never had a problem, car runs like a dream.
