Default Are you using good gas?

I came across this reading Car & Driver. Some gas is bad for your engine, leaving deposits on valves, some other brands are better. Check this out.

Top Tier Gas

I think I'm gonna switch to 76 I've just been using the cheapest premium (91 in CA), Chevon is rediculously more exspenive around here. Nex time I get tuned I'm gonna run 76 gas and see if I can run more timing without knock

Wow, I'm surprised at some of those listed. Some of them I haven't even heard of before or are very rare here in NJ. I always thought Mobil and Sunoco were one of the best.. guess just because NASCAR uses Sunoco doesn't mean we all should..LOL
