    I always buy 91-93 octane only at Shell,Chevron,76,Texaco and Mobil,
    also I discovered that Ethanol gives your car fewer mpg and I went to a Texaco with 10% ethanol and techron it eats gas but gives me an advantage on the steep hills I can go faster than 90mph when I used it.

    1.engine doesn't sound bad when strained
    2. fuel economy appears to have gone up
    3. I can find it cheaper than generic regular
