Default about unleaded fuel

I was wondering who makes the best 93 octane fuel?

I start using Shell gas again, they created a new formula called V-Power. Does anyone know if

theres a product that can detect, if you really using 93 octane fuel?

Why buy 93 octane fuel? You are just throwing money down the drain.

Whats wrong with 93 octane fuel?

Does 91 octane create the same trottle response as the 93 octane?

When I clean my mass air flow sensor, trottle body and, boot every six months,

I don't have a large build up of gunk on these parts. So, 91 octane is the way to go?

Nothing, it's just more expensive. Personally I run the Sunoco 94, but I'm chipped, so that's a bit of a different story.

audi901990, there is no benifit to using high octane gas unless, as Doose said, you are chipped and running a program that may require high octane fuel. Otherwise you are just wasting money for no gain.

I'm willing to try 91 octane on my next fill up.

I average 248 miles (city driving) on tank of 93 octane. If I could get better mileage after a few

fill-ups on 91, I'll use if for my car.
