I have always been using Chevron with Techron since the day I got my drivers license at the age of 16. I use 89 octane for a couple of reasons.

REASONS:

1.White car/ 89 octane is indicted by the color white.

2.The commercial made a believer out of me.

3.Family members recommended it including a friend of mine who raced dragster before.

Now Im wondering what rate octane do you fellow iclubbers use and at what gas staion do you normally attend?

Oh and where is the cheapest Chevron gas station have you come acrossed and how long does your full tank last you based on your driving habits?

Thanks for you looking

 

92 v-power shell only...btw how come 89?

 

^^ yea why 89, i thought we are required to use 93 octane if available???

 

i think that 89 wouldn't be too healthy for our cars....

 

*hit, I didnt even know that. I just got used to using that since my civic days. Sorry guys still learning the subaru maintainance ways!!! Dang it!!! Much mahalos for the info. Good thing my gas tank is almost at e.

 

since i drive a 2.5i, my car only needs 87 octane to run normal. but i put in 91 anyways. i go to chevron cuz of the 'techron'. i never did try shell gas w/ vpower. can't seem to find the difference between the two.

i wouldn't be suprised if it reaches 4.00. that would be history in the making..

i think the cheapest chevron gas is the one near farrington.

 

Same here. I got crappy mpg with 76 and Chevron made my car fart like it drank old milk. Plus, my friend said V-Power has a blue tint

 

Oh yeah, in Import Tuner, this guy had a WRX and used 87 octane and they dyno'ed his car. Then they filled it with 91 octane and dyno'ed it again, he gained 40whp just because of the gas.

 

here's my gas results from my test and this is all @ 92
Shell: 355-365per tank
76:340-355per tank
tesoro:330-335
chevron:250(yeh i know i was pissed)

this is all with the same type of driving.

 

I always use Shell V-Power 92 oct

 

Wow, I didnt know these statistics. I took note that my full tank last me 4 days. And your data with chevron is precisely correct!! One week from my auntys house in waianae to town is appoxiametly 30-32miles eachway.So thats 60-64 miles a day times 4 days =240-256 per tank.This is *uck up. I definetly gonna switch to shell or 76.

Thanks Shagg,

i know huh i keep track of my gass like no other lol

 

lol heres a story for yall..

so, i came from vegas, where 76 stations are plentiful and (at the time) 100 octane was $3.49 a gal. so i had my car dyno tuned for 96oct and mixed 92/100oct to obtain the optimum 96oct. then i unexpectedly moved here, gas prices shot up, and there is only 1 76 that carries 100 on pump. until recently i have been using chevron 92oct (sometimes tesoro) and have been getting anywhere from 215 to 225 per tank. most of the guys on here recommended shell v-power, i tried it, and ill never use anything else again. i hit 300mi twice on a full tank with v-power compared to the 225mi from chevron. this is all 80% spirited driving. the past few days i have been experimenting with something new, mixing xylene (thanks Myron). if calculations are right im currently at 97oct, i have yet to 'open it up', but i cant wait til i have the chance.

 

hmm id better switch, ive been a die hard chevron user ever since lol, Shell V-power here i come!!

 

+1 on Shell with V-power. Stop with the 89 stuff, you need 91.


I get about 250-278 max (normal daily driving) per tank in my STi.
