I'll be taking a little run from Quebec City and down into New Hampshire & Vermont later this week. Can any of our US brothers advise me of which stations are best to get the 94 gas?
Thanks

 

94? I don't think it's available in the USA. 93 is the highest I'm aware of. I do miss Sunoco 94 when I lived in Jersey years ago.

 

yep, 93 is the best we can do. What's one measly octane worth anyway .......

 

Sunoco switched to Petrocan here a little over a year ago, but most of the converted stations still carry the 94. Our regular gas is an 87, with standard premium being 91, and I use it when I have to.
I'll be happy with 93 - is it available at all stations?

 

I have not seen any stations that did NOT have 93 .......

 

Well, that will make it easy, then. Any recommended brands?

 

Is that 93 with or without ethanol. Here in Oklahoma best is 91 without.

 

All gas is the same, the difference being additives. I shop by price and have for 45 years. I have never experienced a bad tank, but I do try and avoid E10 (10% ethanol) in my Audi A6 as it has a bad habit of throwing catalytic converter CELs in hot weather when I use it. If you have any worries, stick with the larger companies: Shell, Mobil, BP rather than mom/pop convenience stores. You'll want to fill up before heading back to the great white north as gas is still cheaper here.

 

Thanks. I have noticed some differences with a major brand here that I personally boycott. It once set off my sensors after a fill-up and the service engine light came on (did I say Esso?). So, I thought I'd see of there's a preferred brand there as well.
I'll be sure to fill up before I come back.

 

There are some additives out there....octane boosters...I have tried a few those products in the past...when out in the sticks so to speak...but only in the Harley...lol....

 

The airports carry grade A jet fuel.....

 

i have lived in california and have never seen 93 or 94. 87,89,91 is all we have

 

In the Northwest the highest is 91, thanks to all those Cal-emmisions....Have a Oregon pine cone? mmmm good!

This kicks it up a bit. Torco Accelerator - It's not just an octane booster I haven't tried it, or had the need for it...... yet.

93 is the best you can get, as said before. There are some stations that only carry 91 for premium, even here. I've seen one or two of the mom and pop stores around that don't carry premium at all. Most places do though.

If you're worried about gas quality, stick to the big companies. Personally, I use Shell and Marathon. I won't touch BP after the oil spill. I don't buy things from companies whose business practices I don't agree with (assuming I know they've done something terrible).

But that's just me. I would recommend any of the big companies.

If you want, here's a list of places I would buy from: Top Tier Gasoline

 

When we were in CO for CAA, we liked the Shell even if it was only 91 octane.

 

Shell V-Power appears to be the best in my car. A friend of mine tested different fuels in his SRT-4 and the least amount of knock was with the V-Power.

 

Thanks everyone. Major brands, with Shell V-Power it is.
