I always use Phillips 93 octane. Its nice because 1) my dad works at a Phillips oil refinery, so i feel like i'm helping him keep his job, lol 2) They have a sweet rebate system for using a conoco phillips credit card for gas and 3) they have a lots of detergents that keep everything clean inside the engine

I tried to fill up with Sunoco Ultra tonight (93 was highest available octane) and the damn gas trickled out of the nozzle. Took 5min to get $10 worth...and you know how much that got me...about 2.5 gallons I was on E so I gave up and will try another spot tomorrow.

Knock Retard, the PCM (more ECM) pulling timing because the gas is not exploding at the same rate.

Sunoco's dominate around here so 94 is what all my cars have ever gotten.

That normally means your sucking off the bottom of the tank you got all the good stuff at the bottom :X
