ridewvInteresting price on different gasoline grades today.
What would you choose? The Corolla got treated to 90 non-ethanol.

Yep, good deal!
"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

tatortoddSomebody fucked up.
At that price point, I'd have also chosen the 90 octane ethanol free.

ridewvInterestingly Sheetz here recently has separated the grades by only 5 cents or so, 10 cents max. A year ago the spread between 87 and 93 was more like 80 cents.

ridewvThe few places that sell rec gas around here have always gouged like that too. Thank goodness the new Sheetz brought it in and typically price it .05 to ,15 over ethanol 93 so that's all I use for my mowers, saws, SxS, etc., along with motorcycles.

trapper189I’d have to pick diesel.
But then I’d have gone back with the boat to fill up on the E-free 90, then with the 5th wheel as well.
I did fill up my wife’s car at BJ’s today with 93 for $3.229. It was only .$30 more than 87 and I’m fairly sure the turbos and computer can make use of it. Most places around here have a $.70 jump between 87 and 93.

NavyGuyHigher octane does no equal more power and better mpgs. Now, ethanol free has potential and most modern vehicles will adjust ecu to accommodate for mixture. So I'll opt for E0 if it's available.
Men fight for liberty and win it with hard knocks. Their children, brought up easy, let it slip away again, poor fools. And their grandchildren are once more slaves.

jed7s9bGas in the adjacent county is $2.89 but ten miles away, here at home it’s $3.60.
I have a 4Runner that I’ve switched to non-ethanol gas a for three tanks while traveling out of state. The gas mileage did not improve.
I have also run a few tanks of E85 in the flex fuel work truck. The reduced gas mileage of E85 made it more costly to use but I noticed no other difference.

.38supersigI would have loaded up on the 93 stuff, but then again, I have to.

sigcrazy7I’d have walked in and told them the diesel pump was malfunctioning.

BeancookerI’d have to go with the 93. Turbo 4 banger with super high compression.
That said 90% of people don’t have a fucking clue as to what octane ratings mean. No idea of what detonation is, don’t know what a knock sensor is, and no idea the effects of retarding timing to prevent knocks from early detonation and the effects of cylinders firing before TDC.
If they had 93 with no alcohol, I would have been on that like an Ethiopian on a Big Mac.

DonDraperIf I had a Corolla yes I'd go with the 90 Eth free. I paid $3.59 for 93 with eth. earlier today. Turbo's love corn.

If you have a turbo your preference should always be fuel with ethanol.
