yup...big difference between Chevron premium and Arco premium. Noticeable lack of performance using Arco after a full tank of Chevron.

BP 93 w/ invigorate.


Where do you guys find this 94+ octane gas?

And is Chevron better than BP's gas? I've been using BP since I got my car.


Edit: Doesn't your car's fuel gauge say, "PREMIUM UNLEADED FUEL ONLY" ?

I get better performance and better gas mileage using Chevron's Premium.

76 you get better performance, but worse gas mileage.

In my opinion

I don't see my stock Z needing pure 100 octane so:

I go with Chev / Shell / 76 91 Oct

For the weekend I make it: 5 gal VP100/ 76 100 + 15gal Chev 91.
Generally, that get me though the week as well.

If I tracked the car it would be just 5-6 gals of VP100. ;-)

It cost me about an extra $100 a month but, well worth it for performance.
