what gas do u use?
for over 3 years I have been using 76 only in all of my cars and motorcycles. I thought I was the only one until I saw this thread. Put shell premium in my kawasaki 3 years ago and it ran like crap for 40 miles until I got home. I checked for a couple of days and was about to pull the engine out until I hooked up an aux fuel tank to run the engine with the tank off and it ran perfect. I had the receipt and it said 92 (few years ago when the pumps said 92 not 91) I went strictly to chevron and 76 for a bit after that and after all the mtbe crap killing the environment I went to strictly to 76 when they stopped using mtbe. My bikes love it, as does the scooby.

this was the same case with the chevron on Morwy by Dennis, they also had 92 sticker on one pump...
I use 76, cheapest stations around union city/newark would either be the 76 by union landing or the one off ardenwood by jack in da crack...

VP Racing Import for me..
Actually I pretty much only use 76 91 when I use pump gas, although I only use Shell gas when tuning my car (as it's the crappiest I can find locally).

Should have made this a poll.
76 only for me. And occasionally a couple gallons of 100 octane at Woodside/Kentfield in RWC.

Use Chevron most of the time with no problems, i used Shell once last week and my car was hesitating, running like crap. I guess it's the new V-power... i promptly burned off that gas and filled my car up with some Arco... top quality haha... the hesitation was gone and car was back to running normal. I think i'm going to switch to 76 seeing all the support they're getting on here.
