Indeed, writing this message from 2030. Sorry guys, no more Mustang V8s in the future.
Same here, but I'll use Sam's if I'm in the area. Almost exclusively Costco (combination of convenience and WAY cheaper (currently $2.65 today). I'm surprised how well the Stage3 93 tune is working - it fixed a sag in part-throttle acceleration that was noticeable in the Stage2 tune.
Well you can't develop a proof for something's that subjective, like is something worth the extra money to a given person.
Wawa has both 91 & 93 depending on area. When I was in Monroe Township NJ all they had was 91. Neither is Top Tier.
Every time I fill up I say I’m going to throw a tank of 87 in just for the hell of it. Then when I go to push the 87 button a strong wind comes up and pushes my hand over to the 93 button. Strangest damned thing.
Just find fight the wind and try it.
Ha I know some of my replies look really like blah dee blah. But I was premium gas only person too then one day.... I read a little and said ok Im gonna try a tank or two. Well I been enjoying the savings ever since. I literally said why was I spending all that extra for nothing.
Ha I can get on board with that. But my thinking is why spend it if you are not really getting anything from it that you get from the cheaper? I mean every penny is hard earned why waste it? its marketing 101. There was a show about walmart and other retailers and the tricks they use. And they found out people like to spend more because it creates a perception of better. I can't remember the exact item they used as an example but they said when it was sold for a dollar it didn't sell so they marked it up to 4 dollars and they sold every one of them. If you ask any car person what the best oil/ tires/ wheels/ gas is almost every time they will list off the most expensive. Marketers know how to manipulate us and they do a good job of it.
My engine builder, a locally-renowned race/performance shop, says "The engines that come into my shop in the best shape run exclusively on Chevron," and it's all he'll use (FWIW). My Bullitt runs fine on Costco 91, but every few fill-ups I'll throw a tank of Chevron in it (the station is also more convenient).
You should RTFM. My '19 GT manual states that the car is made to run on 87. For best performance, use 91 or higher. Where you get the temp bit I don't know because it is NOT in my manual.
It's the Techron in the gas that keeps the engines clean. Shell Nitro works the same. I can tell you if an engine has run Shell simply on the internal condition of it. IMO, Chevron or Shell are great choices, but Shell is the best of the best. That's my experience and opinion though, so no disrespect to the guy who thinks Chevron is best.
"There is literally a thread called 2018 MPG 87 vs 93." " an article where they tested a 2015-2017" < who cares that's old news.
