i've heard two things: 1. Don't ever use aloha gas cuz it's crap. (Costco and most 7elevens use aloha gas) 2. Aloha gas is the best gas because it has it's own refinery, and it is also the most "pure" rather than the rest of the gas companies that share the same gas and just add their own stuff to it i.e. techron or "v-power".
who knows. I fill up with shell and don't have problems. When I had the wrx (which is extremely sensitive to fuel quality) I had problems with costco/aloha gas, especially with knocking and hesitation. After it was all said and done, I ran a cobb cali 91 octane low quality fuel map and it was much better.

I use Shell because they gave us the most awesomist commercial EVAR!:
Seriously though, for some reason I prefer Shell. Although I'll use Aloha as well when I need a fill up and Shell isnt around. I'd go to costco, but I HATE waiting in line.

Nitrogen enriched Shell V-powah only baby!
But I work for Shell so I get up to $270 in free Gas per quarter for our safety and performance bonus. But it really is good stuff.

The Gas Station is listed in the Yellow Pages under:
McCully Union Services Inc -
2105 S King St, Honolulu, HI - (808) 947-7382
I just called them up, the 100oct at the 76 station is $9.75 a Gallon.
Ron's sells C16 for $118 for 5 gallons. So that equals to about $23.60 a Gallon for C16....
Bigger price difference than I originaly thought....
