Best Gas in Hawaii for Turbo cars
So anyone has any opnion on what is the best gasoline company in Hawaii? And has anyone used Toluene in there cars? If so, where can you get the best deals?
In my opnion Shell gas is the best for my turbo cars. I had a 91' Mitsubishi Eclipse AWD Turbo and Shell gave me the best boost performance.

15 gallons x $0.30 = $4.50 / fillup.
How often do you fill up? Three times a month? That's only $13.50 a month you'll be saving by putting Costco gas in your tank.
I waste more than $13.50/month on eating too many plate lunches.
I'd feel more comfortable knowing I put the good stuff in the tank and was out $13.50 for the month.
Then again - who is to say that Costco's gas will be crap?
Hmmm...

Has anyone tried pouring Toluene in their gas tanks to increase octane?
As for Chevron gas, I filled up with that gas with my 1991 Mits Eclipse GSX AWD and the turbo just hated it- lag and loss power. You guys should try 2 tanks of Shell gas, it makes turbos happy. This is from my own experience. I heard 76 is good also.

No WRX deserves to be treated like **** with under 92 octane unless thats the only option.
Richard's right about using good gas ........ saving $13 is Not worth detonation.
and the gas that is used on-base is not Tesoro's 'normal' blend, ... it's even cheaper.
Remember, just b/c it comes from the same refinery, doesn't mean it is prepared the same.
... and yes, many of us have used toluene or xylene regularly.

I liked Chevron for a looooong time.....too bad my STI doesn't love it like I do. 
STI didnt have much love for 76 for a couple tanks either....but now I have the LEAST amount of audible det with 76...but notice how I said least
I thought it was gone since it had been a month or two since I last heard it.....until a wot run in 4th from 3.5-5k yesterday morning....she decided to play with a few bbs again And that was the coolest outdoor temps my cars seen since birth....and down hill!!!!
