Some gas stations use only 92 octane instead of 93 for their premium. Probably old news, but something to look out for especially the F/I guys...I hardly ever look at the number on the pump and just assume premium is actually 93...I almost filled up with 92 on my way to the track yesterday...wouldn't have been good...

 

It's called wawa.

don't go there and you're good.

 

you'd be real disapointed if you were here on the west coast - we only get 91 octane

 

I miss my 94 octane, haven't seen Shell carry it for at least a year now.

 

Around here they do

 

LOL +1 I was about to say the same thing.


Also out west like Hagerstown Ive run into this problem, thats why I dont live in the "hills have eyes" part of MD.

 

True, but who knows when/if others follow suite...so just keep an eye on those labels... in these times everyone is screwing the consumer any sneaky way they can.

 

Its been like that for awhile. I dont remember wawa ever having 93 come to think of it.

 

Haters gon hate......LQL

 

daaaamn this is way unacceptable I know almost all of the U.S. gas get imported from Saudi Arabia and other middle eastern county. the gas octane there is between 95-100.
why the hell they sell us this crappy 85-93 octane fuel and it's almost triple the price from those counties :S. God I miss it back there when the gas was 0.283$ for the gallon.

 

Thats how those ****'s all stay rich, whats so hard to understand?

Many parts of the world have much crappier cars than us, but much higher octane.

 

They also don't have the same octane rating system we do, so what their governmental regulations refer to as "105" is what we typically call "87" here in the states.

At least that's how it was in Kuwait.

 

They use a different rating system. Their gas is equivalent to 91.

 

Most of our gas comes from Mexican and Canada.
