Default best and worse

What do you guys think the best and worse fuel there is. Amaco, sunco, shell, conoco, phillips, ect..ect..ect.!

I have the 91 no-dod tune and run BP 92 oct. What do you guys have luck with that make your performance the best.

I want to try 3 gallons of 100 oct. and fill the tank up with 92 oct. for a higher octance since I can only get 92 here.

The highest oct needed to keep the KR out. Anything extra on that same tune is a waste of money.

Well 76 is a popular gas station owned by ConocoPhillips in SoCal.

VP is specialty race fuel that you must order through a quality shop/performance center. IIRC, you can buy it online bt since its gas, shipping is a bitch to pay and takes forever (ground only I think).
