Author	Topic: 93 Octane should be listed?	Topic is locked Back to Topics

RUsum1 Rookie Author South Carolina Posts:13 Points:114,150 Joined:Dec 2012	Message Posted: Jan 6, 2013 8:41:54 PM Ignore RUsum1 Report Abuse I find it weird that 91 Octane is the only Premium fuel listed in the app yet the only station near me that actually sells 91 Octane is Sunoco. 93 Octane is the norm for Premium for me it seems. Can we get both added? Also, I would have looked to see if this was already posted but there seems to be no search bar to search the forums other than searching for a particular user name. Am I just missing it? The "browse other forums" brings up non-gas forums only?

edwardj66 Rookie Author Chicago Posts:26 Points:153,225 Joined:Feb 2012	Message Posted: Jan 18, 2013 1:27:56 AM Ignore edwardj66 Report Abuse Octane does not matter... Other than to know what a perticular station sells... Realistically it is/should be lviewed as relative.... Just like I do not buy at atarioms who do not advertise prices for higher grades a...I also know that certain stations sell 91 and others 92 or 93 as premium. Again is all relative.

The common grades in my area are 89 - Regular 91 - Mid-Grade 93 - Premium There are a few Sunoco stations that sell a 2nd grade of premium that I think is 95 octane.
scoutmaster Champion Author Pittsburgh Posts:81,180 Points:3,250,695 Joined:Mar 2003	Message Posted: Jan 7, 2013 6:49:04 AM Ignore scoutmaster Report Abuse The norm in my area is 91. There are a handful of Sunoco's that sell 91 and 93 but they are few and far between.
