    Has everyone gotten the new Shell 94 octane yet? It's called V-Power. It's made here where I live. It took the place of the 93 octane. I filled up the company van with it today. I had about 1/3 tank of 87 octane. It stopped pinging as soon as I left the station. Pretty good stuff.

    The Amoco here has changed their Ultra to 93 octane from the 94.

    Or was it always 94?

    As long as I've been buying gas (not long:grin: ) Amoco and Shell have both had 93 octance gas...no more than that. Those seem to be the best places around here to buy good gas.

    I hate putting QT gas in my car....I don't think it likes it much:gt: RUns ok on it though. My car has never pinged one bit since I've owned it. My LeSabre would ping like a &$(^%()# if I put lower than 92 octane in.

    I like the Amoco also. Try not to run gas with Ethanol. Our old fuel systems were not built for it.
