The least expensive 93 octane that I can find
Usually get it at BJs. Paid $235.9 yesterday. Sometime Hess or WaWa will have a lower price than BJs. but I stopped using WaWa because the last time I went to fill up, I noticed that their premium was only 92 octane. (not that it should really matter) . But if I can get 93 octane for the same price as 92, I would be foolish not to buy the 93, since neither is a name brand gasoline. BTW, the car runs just fine on these non brand name gasolines. I do put a detergent additive in the gas about once a year.

I try to stick with Chevron, but...
There is only one around here. If I can't get Chevron, I fill up with Shell V-Power.
I try to only use Top-Tier gas in this car. When I picked it up the fuel guage was slightly off, so I ran a few tanks of Chevron with additional techron additive, and the guage has fixed itself now. Costco sells a 4 pack of Techron Fuel Injector cleaner for $9, and each bottle will treat up to 16 gallons of gas. This is a great deal.
It's important to note that BP/Amoco Ultimate is a top-tier gas, but isn't listed as one because the lower grades (89, 87) aren't top-tier.

you're only killing a few rats that way...
i'm talking about a catastrophe on a scale that probably couldn't be accomplished through a series of coordinated attacks on the west coast by al queda.

I use Shell V-Power Racing (as it's called in Greece)with my current car. I guess this is the same as "V-power 93"? I intend to use with the RS4 once I get it .. THIS FRIDAY!! :-)
I'm very-very happy with the extra 10-15% extra range it gives when driving in open roads. Performance wise it's noticeable but I guess it depends on the engine too... Hope it helps!

93 Octane in California? I can't seem to find it...
I'm pretty much stuck using 91 octane from Chevron or Shell...
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone recommend any stations around the East Bay or South Bay in Nor Cal?
*sigh*
