I use 87 from Rotten Robbie in the winter. It gives me roughly 350% more power

There is one in Foster city on East Hillsdale Boulevard with seperate pumps for each grade.

The other one in Millbrae right off the freeway across from IN&OUT has 91 with dedicated pumps too i think.

I use to pump chevron only in all my cars , now i really can careless. Gas is gas , its just the other companys add extra additives. My friend is a mechanic at a shop which is connected to an arco. He pumps arco in all his cars , 2 NSX's , 3 s2000's one was turbo , countless Type R motored cars etc. Never had an issue.

The Valero at Veterans and Whipple in RWC has separate pumps (and E85), but the nearby Chevron doesn't. I haven't been to the 76 on Woodside for a while, but it's nice knowing there's a local option for go-fast-gas.

this might sound like a stupid question but do all gas station with in the company (ie. Chevron) use the same gas? i filled up in the G-H-E-T-T-O today downtown Sacramento along side some shady people and P.O.S. cars. I couldnt help to wonder if the stuff is the same in every Chevron lol. Anyone know?

why would the ecu care if you put 100 octane in on a 91 tune? It's the other way that causes problems.
