i live in vancouver and i dont kno wat the actual difference is between canada and the states in terms of prices, but i would only save $7 per tank filling in regular (87 octane) as compared to supreme plus (94 octane). i could save approx $1.5 by filling in supreme (92 octane) but i decided to get 94 as it is the best bang for my buck
You have 94 octane fuel up there? You luck SOB. We used to have Sunoco Ultra 94 but they took it away from us. I wish I had 94 so bad now that I'm turbo. That would be awesome. I would pay the extra couple dollars for that fuel. I could probably get away with running an extra degree of timing with that fuel. But at least I'm not in CA where they only have that swamp premium unleaded. They only have 91 octane, right? I'm having another brain fart. lol...Is it 91 or 92 in CA?
