Mobil 93 since its first tank.

This is normally where I go and the fuel I get. I like the fact that they have an app I could use to pay so I never have to use their CC reader (no chance of skimmer).Mobil 93 since its first tank.
How does that work at self serve pumps? Might check it out, especially if there's like a reward thing tied to it.This is normally where I go and the fuel I get. I like the fact that they have an app I could use to pay so I never have to use their CC reader (no chance of skimmer).
Plus, I get to spend an extra minute or two in the car instead of finding my card, inserting the card, waiting for authorization, putting in a PIN, and putting away the card... It's especially useful in the winter because taking out the card and putting it away requires me to take off my gloves; when Celsius equals Fahrenheit, not taking off my gloves and the ability not to do all that stuff outside my car is well... Useful. I guess if it's 100F and humid out it's useful as well.
OK, I'll admit it, the main reason I like the app is because it allows me to stay in my temperature controlled car for a little longer.
Correct, they produce the same power, contrary to what the guy in HPJ's video stated. The only exception to this is if your 91 is exceptionally bad and knocking, in which case 93 would net you more performance due to ignition not being retarded, but that is not normally the case.So you're saying that an FK8 on 91 produces the same power as an FK8 on 93 (stock tune)? What the guy was implying was that they don't. I actually don't know the answer to this, which is why I'm asking.
Illinois is self serve. It just saves you from needing to pay for the gas outside. I still need to pump the gas.How does that work at self serve pumps? Might check it out, especially if there's like a reward thing tied to it.
I'm weird in that I enjoy pumping my own gas and won't let anyone do it for me.....I was even told to fuck off from my local mobil when the owner was there one day and saw that I would tip the gas attendant just to do it myself (not self serve I guess) ? luckily there's another self serve one down the street.
I think that’s been talked about a little in this thread (or maybe it’s a different one). Though long story short, it was recommended to avoid Shell if you wanted power when on a tune.Has anyone done any datalogs in the type r with different brands of gas? From what I have read, it seems our cars like high octane, even with a difference between 91 and 93 octane.
Cars that I have owned in the past that I have tuned and monitored seem to react to different brands of fuel. You would be surprised what brand I always found to be the most consistent with my cars.
Lol. Interesting. I, too, found Shell to be very inconsistent on the quality of their gas. Believe it or not, all my cars performed the best, with consistency using Costco fuel.I think that’s been talked about a little in this thread (or maybe it’s a different one).

Well the reason why She’ll was pointed out was the additives.Lol. Interesting. I, too, found Shell to be very inconsistent on the quality of their gas. Believe it or not, all my cars performed the best, with consistency using Costco fuel.
I wish our Chevron here in Northern CA went all the way up to 94 instead of 91.I use Chevron 94 octane
Costco is good too but only disappointing for me because they don’t offer the middle tier gas (89).costco or the cheapest i can find.
