Talking

North Jersey here too.. and the Sunnoco near my house has 100 Octane Unleaded GT Gas for $3.49 per gallon 93 is usually $2.19 and 94 "Ultra" for $2.29-$2.39

I've tried Shell's "V" Power and the car likes it just as much as Sunnoco or BP..

The best gas I've found, atleast for the TA, is BP/Amoco..

Exxon, Mobil, and Texaco only go in when there aren't other options around.. Getty and Gulf =

On the other hand, when using Regular "87" grade fuel on my Mercury Sable, all fuels feel alike.. even the local no-brand ones for $1.19 or maybe the sable just isn't picky like the TA

Every car I've owned has drank Shell gas like it's going out of style....

I'm a dedicated BP Amoco 93 Octane user! (for the 'bird). The truck gets 87 octane and loves it

That's weird. Wife and I have both Amoco and Shell cards. I get better miliage with the Shell V-power. Noticable difference too.

if your just freeway droning, like having the cruise on, 87 is fine, if you like to harp on the pedal from time to time go with a higher octane.
