There is this place on the BLVD called Valero. They posted a sign that said: pure Gas, no Ethanol added. Wondering if it’s true or not? Also if the gas is 91 octance with no Ethanol added, is it better than regular 93 octance with Ethanol added? ---

Also if the gas is 91 octance with no Ethanol added, is it better than regular 93 octance with Ethanol added? if it has no ethanol that you should make more power with it in your average car. I thought the ethanol was a federal mandate for E10 at all filling stations? I notice a huge difference in my work van and in my 90 SHO between mobile and sunoco. mobile = worse mileage and less power ---

Not a lot of people buy premium fuel, and gas station that doesn’t sell a lot of gas sells even less. I personally buy gas only from busy stations that look modern. This means that they can upkeep the tanks, the filters, and everything else. ---

I was doing some reading on the subject, and 99 percent of the gas stations are carrying e10 because it is a cheaper product. Also many of the wholesalers are carrying only e10, so pure gasoline comes at a premium. ---

I’m 99% sure that red apple/quik fill’s gasoline does not contain ethanol.The gas is distributed by united refining and the wiki says they’re looking for sources of ethanol to blend with their gasoline. ---

Fuck it, kwikfill is right near my house and is always less expensive then the mobil right up the street. Its all i ever run in my TA or my Jeep and both run fine. TA makes lots of power and my 6 year old 170k mile jeep gets 20+ mpg ---

I heard that Kwik fill gas came from PA, so thats why it was better. But then I seen a regular NY gas truck filling at Kwik fill, so that is probably rumor. ---

In race cars, I used exxon gas for a while with good results, it just was the best, this was years ago, now id use sonoco in anything that isnt my daily, that ethonol blend shit kills my mpg. [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/are-all-93-octane-gases-the-same/79332.md?page=1)
