i always use chevron, but i did use 76 100 octane once and that was awesome but i can't afford 7.50 a gallon all the time…

76 is a far better gas than chevron and shell

e85 is inconsistent, if your tune is ***** to the wall, having less ethanol content than the e85 you used on the day of the tune, things gets crazy

yes there have been cases in many of the bayarea e85 stations having less than 70% content, so check your e85

^ explain why chevron and shell is a better gas?

Fancy Fuel Additives does not always get the best result in performance if anything it runs hotter and more prone to detonation

go test it your self

go install egt gauge, afr gauge and tune on all 3 different gas ***** to the wall

see which one you can make more power before it detonates

then get back to me which is better gas

i have met and know alot of Professional tuners from imports to domestic world in california, they all seem to agree that 76 yields the best result and chevron runs the hottest
