Looks like Sunoco 94 is going the way of the dinosaurs
Just got this email from Sunoco....
"Thank you for contacting Sunoco regarding the sale of Ultra 94.
Unfortunately Ultra 94 is being converted to Ultra 93 in many Sunoco
markets. Changes outlined in the Energy Bill signed into law by
President Bush make Ultra 94 a difficult product to produce. The most
significant change of the Energy Bill is the use of oxygenates. MTBE,
used as the oxygenate in fuel and a critical component of Ultra 94, is
now being phased out by the Energy Bill requirement of increased ethanol
use. Ethanol does not have the octane enhancing qualities of MTBE.
Ultra 94 has been a great product for Sunoco and we are disappointed in
the elimination, however Sunoco is committed to producing the highest
quality fuel with the new product offering of ultra 93.
Thank you"<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/2213319.phtml">prior thread</a></li></ul>
