Yep, there are a few stations in the bay area that have 93. Also, yes I am a bit worried about the new exhaust law. CA is just getting worse and worse :(

No 93 in South Bay area, but there is a Union 76 on Capitol Expressway selling 101 unleaded. Last time i filled up was about $8/gallon.
Remember, our cars only make advertised power on 93 or higher.

Congrats ! Nice car ! Unless proven otherwise, your car will most likely NOT have oil consumption issues, don't fret too much about it.. Do check your oil though at least every 200 miles now until you get an idea, and I expect that the rings are settled in 1800 miles, so you should be good to go.
I also bought mine at exactly 1800 miles (go figure) , drove it home 1000 miles, did not use a drop of oil on the way back.
8000 miles later, still no consumption issues.

Where? I have seen a few 100 but never encountered a 93. Please let me know if any in the South Bay.

It could be 100. I just remember there was a 76 station on Saratoga ave. just before downtown Saratoga that had high octane and everyone fills up there before driving up skyline blvd.

Hey everyone thanks for the warm welcome! I heard there were some oil consumption issues so I'll definitely be sure to keep an eye on it. Also here is a pic!

I really like this color.. Welcome and good luck with car.

Hi everyone, just want to intro myself. I am new to the forum and just purchased a 2017 Shelby GT350 with 1,800 miles . Grabber blue (no stripes) + tech package. It will arrive in a week or 2.

(Surprisingly, I am coming from a Porsche 911 and wanted something a little more badass for my daily driver.)

Side note: If anyone is in the SF bay area and could let me know about potential meetups/cruises, etc. I would love to join!

Welcome! Your car is very nice, hope it is all you want it to be! Gotta admit, jealous of the GT350...

That's the exact spec I sat in for the first time and realized I had to have one of these cars. Even though Avalanche was my first choice, the Grabber Blue will always evoke good memories.

Ha! Avalanche gray was also my first choice! But this grabber blue is pretty cool too

Same here. If it were a black stripes I would’ve probably bought it, but did not care for the white stripes.

Yep. Aware of the 100 stations. There is even a website to help find race gas. But I was hoping there was some cheaper 93 out there.

That's a beautiful color !!

That's a beautiful color !!

Thanks, now I just need to wait for it to be delivered!!!

Congrats!!! I have a 18 model year and never had any oil issues at all and I am at 6k miles so far. I do check mine quite often just incase... but no consumption yet

Enjoy her man... I love mine!

I am curious to know 2 things from fellow GT350 owners...
1. Do the rest of you guys daily drive your GT350 like I will be doing? Or is it primarily a weekend car? (My daily commute is 65 miles round trip.)
2. What kind of mpg are you guys getting, usually? (I know, the numbers will of course depend of driving style.)

GT350 is primarily my weekend car. I usually get 11-12 mpg (city).
