Default A fuel ?

I have been reading for a while now, and dont see anything yet.

Shell has the v-power on tap at the pumps, and they say its 98 octane is this true, and does anyone tune with it for the streets?

We only have 91octane at the pumps in kansas so this would be my alternative.

I used to work for shell oil company for 5 years and as far as i know the shell V-Power is only available in 93 octane The fact that is V-Power simply means the Fuel has a special additive to help combat Carbon build up in the motor which will increase performance from what the shell sales rep will tell you!

Hope this helps in your quest for some good fuel!!

SIDE NOTE: I don't think i have seen pump gas higher than 94 at the pumps!

Back in my day we used to buy Sunoco 260, it was 102 octane. Man that was a long time ago, back about 1974. I think we paid like 48 cents a gallon or a little more.

Today, all the premium here in New England is 93 octane.

Yea, I just paid $2.03 for Sunoco 93 in Springfield Mass on my way back from VT. Up there it was $2.13 today, it was $2.03 last Friday night on the drive up.
