Our best deal around here is either Sheetz (convenience store) or Sam's Club. I try to go to either of those.

***Corey*** · 03-26-2003, 06:21 PM

It's 76 Union 91 octane, or non at all

Been using it for years, and I will stick with it.

By the way, last time I gassed up it was about $2.07 per gallon.
I have to get gas Friday, hopes it's gone down a tad.

TDiddy · 03-26-2003, 06:23 PM

The cheapest no-name gas is still $2.09 for 87 octane down here. That's usually where I go.

taco04 · 03-26-2003, 06:29 PM

Im with Corey... 76 91 octane for me

az4x4runner · 03-26-2003, 06:37 PM

The one with the cheapest 87 at the time hehe, usualy Fry's or a Cheveron (i think) station down the street from me.

Arnold · 03-26-2003, 07:23 PM

I use Chevron too and have been paying $1.99/gal for 92 octane.

DH6twinotter · 03-26-2003, 07:57 PM

I use mostly Citgo 89. It's at about $1.59 for 87. Forget what it is for 89.

Have fun all.

I go to Quik Trip (commonly known as just QT). Right now I'm getting mid-grade (89 octane) for $1.48. I always run 89 in my Runner

Good Times · 03-26-2003, 08:35 PM

Costco gas anyone?!?!?!

Usually try to get mobile but since the prices has gone up abit, been puttin in some costco :/

Lethal · 03-26-2003, 08:53 PM

Chevron with Techron Supreme Plus is 94 octane here. Don't buy the stuff personally. But I know 87 octane is @.90 cents per LITRE.

:cry:

Robinhood150 · 03-26-2003, 08:57 PM

Costco! 2.03ish.

BT17R · 03-26-2003, 09:00 PM

Techron, baby! Of the low sulfur variety. Chevron Supreme 91 @ $2.06USD today.

Toyota Punk · 03-26-2003, 09:23 PM

I will usually go out of my way to hit Sheetz. They are the cheapest about 95% of the time, and I can use my regular non-debit ATM card. 87 is $1.59 or so in general around here.

rchavis · 03-26-2003, 10:00 PM

Chevron here. 92 @ $2.13 a gal.

Tatsuo · 03-26-2003, 10:31 PM

Shell or Texaco either way the prices of gas are killing me!

knemo77 · 03-26-2003, 10:41 PM

costco.

im payin 1.53 here. id hate to be payin west coast prices:pat:

i think its expensive here.

L33T35T 4Runner · 03-26-2003, 11:16 PM

I used to put moble (sp?) in my car, but ever since gas prices jumped the gun, i just cant afford it.

puttin cheap arco in there now, sorry 4runner :cry:

pinoy · 03-26-2003, 11:17 PM

I drive a mile for the $2.38 89 with techron.
oh yeah... Isn't it spelled Chevron?

Petrocan or Husky. Keepin the money in Canada

DuB · 03-27-2003, 01:10 AM

76 89 octane for my truck. I used to use 91, but I decided to switch

What advantages does 91 have over 89?

Oh, 76 89 octane is about $2.25 around me

jacksonpt · 03-27-2003, 08:09 AM

I will only buy gas from Hess. They do not import from the Middle East - my little way of supporting our country. Fortunately, they are generally the cheapest in town, but never more than 1 or 2 cents per gallon more.

On the 3.0 engines like mine, it runs better on the high test.
Even the dealer told me that.
I have run the medium grade with is 89 here, and I pinged.
My timing is also set to stock, so it's not the timing.

You can get away with a lesser one, but even though I have a new short block in my rig, I have the original heads.
They have over 170K on them, and I'd imagine some carbon build-up.

With carbon build-up on them, that is almost like raising the compression ratio.
The higher the compression ratio, the higher octane you must use.

If the heads ever get replaced in the future, I could drop down in octane.
Or perhaps I will get the cleaning done that Gadget recommends for about $110 or so with the Snap On Motor Vac system.
That cleans your upper fuel rails, injectors, and I think the carbon build-up in the heads.
I am not sure on the latter, I will have to look into it more.
