Even if you could put the octane signs that are on the bottom of the screen smaller at the top. We take two 1000 mile trips every summer and I love updating as I go. The problem is we live in an area with alot of ethanol prices and seem to enter our prices in different than everywhere else. Our "regular" is different than other "regulars".

Sunoco stations are known for selling both 91 and 93 octanes. The problem arises when some Sunocos put the 91 octane price on the sign, while others put the price for Ultra 93 on their signs.

Don Moderator	Message Posted: Nov 2, 2012 2:37:09 PM Ignore Don Report Abuse Generally, most regular fuels are between 84-87 octane, most mid grade fuels are 87-89 octane, and most premium fuels are 90-93 octane, sometimes even 94. The "octane" rating shown within the app and on the sites in station features is for iconic purposes only, and does not actually represent the octane of fuel sold at any particular station. We are considering adding other fuel types to the website and apps, however, currently only display the three main grades of gasoline, and diesel. We are hoping to improve upon this as time goes on though. Thank you for your patience while we continue to develop and improve our mobile app and web services.

MOREDLEG Champion Author Missouri Posts:2,775 Points:635,560 Joined:May 2011	Message Posted: Oct 30, 2012 10:16:12 PM Ignore MOREDLEG Report Abuse I think it would clog up the screen too much, where would you stop ORD, E85, all different octane levels, I like it as it is.
AngryCubera Rookie Author Buffalo Posts:44 Points:205,320 Joined:Sep 2012	Message Posted: Oct 30, 2012 1:14:09 PM Ignore AngryCubera Report Abuse I agree. There is plenty of room on the App to add it and it would be especially helpful when I take my summer ride out of town on a cruse. Doesn't seem like a very difficult improvement to implement either. -Great idea.
