Default R.I.P. Ultra 94

Maybe some of you already knew this, but I was horrified to pull into the Sunoco station this morning and see that the Ultra 94 had been replaced by Ultra 93! I got off the phone with Sunoco and, sure enough, they are phasing out the Ultra 94 in retail distribution.

That sucks! I already had some knock under load in the summer months with 94, so I guess I'll have to roll the timing back.

just add some octain booster. the nos stuff, and the stp stuff works pretty well.

I was quite pissed when I realized that Sunoco is charging about 20 cents more per gallon than anyone else is for 93.

I can get 104 turbo blue at a mobil station near my parents house, I ran that in ATV's and stuff forever.. last time I checked it was like 5.45 a gallon. Not sure if the car would like it or not... never really tried, it always seemed o.k. with either sunoco 94, or mobil 93.. that's all I have ever run thru it.

With government having their way, pretty soon we'll all be racing Hybrids. Battery powered 18 second cars will be considered fast. Get ready to take it up the butt for gasoline again--just cause they're changing over to summer mixes??? C'mon, how stupid do they think we are? Check their profits lately? Lame, ******* lame.... WJ

I always raced my car on Sunoco 94. But honestly is there any diference from 93 and 94?

Me too. I would imagine the difference can't be too significant?

But, it is still available in NJ. Which is good to know if you are going to race at E-town, Atco or Island. Just fill up in NJ.

I just run Mobil 93 with a bottle of the nos octane booster every other tank.

I've always avoided the octane booster.. we used to play with that stuff back with the ATV's I used to race and it was screwy, sometimes it seemed to help, other times it would just eat the plug up.... I never had consistant results using it.

For most applications I don't really think there would be a measureable difference.

What is the ******* deal with phasing out good gas anyway? You can;t tell me the demand is so low that they can't justify it.
