91 is the most you can get in California. Unless you want to mix with 100 octane unleaded. And that stuff costs about $4.50 a gallon. I always use 91.

The highest I am able to go is 91. I wish colorado would convert to a 93 octane.

Actually it depends on how much you driver every week. Considering I pay 2.35 and how much I have to drive to get to college kinda evens it out. Your not forced to live in cali

half 93 and half 110(yes it is sold at the pump in mebourne florida. ) the only reason for that is I have a tendency to spray at a moments notice just to bring a smile to my face.. Oh yeah AND it smells good. and has a tendency to scare people

I use 93. We have several places that has 100 at the pump and a few with 110 at the pump. The 110 is leaded and has a sticker that says off road use only.

i use Mobil's 93 octane all the time. i use to go to shell but i think they are mixing their 93 octane with "cow ****" over here. after moving down here from houston, i used shell and my car was knocking every which direction and detonating at like 3k whenever i floored it. so i've heard you cant go wrong with mobil. so now i trust mobil, no complaints. also i use amsoil's octane booster every now and then for the little added boost to the 93.

So you guys think bp, shell, and texaco are bad or just slightly worse? Also what about wal mart gas

I new some places were bad but i thought the larger places should all be good.
