3800 What gas do you use?

[98 TGP TOY]

Ok may not be bad enough to pop a piston. But anyways....my story. A while back i had decided to start using 93 citgo gas, because BP....my favorite.....only had 92 octane in my college town. Well I noticed a raise in kr between the two gas. Citgo, even though 93 octane, was much worse in quality relative to performance. So I have been using 92 bp anytime i have been in iowa. Well the other weekend on the way home I was running short on gas...and getting a little nervous because of the known walbro fuel pump problems . Well I grabbed the next gas station i could find which was 30 miles down the road. Get there and all they have is phillips 66. So I picked up a 15.5 gallons of 93 octane from them. This past week I was going to do some additional tuning with the PTer.....but all of a sudden i had 4-5* of kr popping up when I hadnt had any on my last scan. So I decided to drive the tank out and try out the 92 BP. Sure enough after 92 BP my run was 95% free of kr.


So I would highly recommend people be careful with "new" gas in their tanks. I would keep an eye with a scanner if you havent. This has shown what I have always beleived, that BP is much higher quality gas than its competitors. Even with a lower octane rating.

This isnt new news for many....but i thought it should be restated. Good day

Vpowers the shiznit!!!!!!

I have never put anything else in her, besides racegas. I run Vpower constintly

 

[Glasuan]

i stick with BP as well, I used to use shell before, with my old bonneville. After owning a nissan, that does not take well to shell, I switched over to BP.

I actually just went through this with the dealer. I've always ran BP premium in my car and then suddenly last week at 9000 miles my ses light came on.

Brought it to the dealer and they told me it was a misfire in two cylinders and that cleaning the injectors would fix the problem. They related the problem to crap fuel in the area (I usually fill up at the BP on Kirk and Butterfield or somewhere close).

Needless to say, they cleaned the injectors and I've had no problem, but I'm also consistently running Shell Premium now and won't ever look back. The car seems to like that gas better anyway....

As far as I'm concerned after that, down with Bitch Petroleum.....

BP, and Shell, nothing else. I'll drive the extra miles to find one of the two gas stations. I used to do mobile, but had a crap tank full once and never switched back.

93 Marathon..

 

[imported_Ron Vogel]

89 Mobil, sometimes premium if it gets warm outside. My car misfires more on the BP. I never put "off brand" gas in it, you should see what it does to your intake, combustion chamber, exhaust.

 

[98 TGP TOY]

Yep, every car is different. Just make sure you are using the gas that your car likes....

BP first, Shell if not around a BP, each fill up mixed with 3 gal of 100 octane in the summer (for kr reasons)

 

[rob]

100 octane...........GAS CITY.............$3.99 per gallon. NO KR and tons of timming and power.

Wish I had a cheaper solution.

 

[endless36]

V-power all the way

 

[LPSPEED2]

I actually notice a big difference when i use V-Power compared to others. It's the best I've found for my car do far.

 

[iliveonnitro]

I had a really bad experience with shell gas the only time i used it. I was on empty and filled it up all the way with the shell v-power stuff since it was the closest one, and the car ran like complete shit...bogged everywhere. I've always used mobil with great results.

 

[smug]

Shell V-Power with the Intense Racing PCM in my GT

 

[DaytonaPrixMI]

shell v-power as well, though my car isn't all that picky but likes shell the best

heh sorry... didn't mean to send your sarcasm detector so far over it broke

GTP i put 93 octane in, TA I have to put 93 octane in due to the raised compression

 

[beyerch]

the new gas station down the street has 100 unleaded... i kid you not.....

Although the turbo has shown me a max of .6 KR all week so i can't complain..... of course i run that thing turned down .. about 12 PSI and 16 timing max.
