How much is Octane 91 in your place?

[intoflatlines]

No 91 octane where I get gas (Costco).. just 93 and 87/89 (I can't remember)

My place doesn't have a gas station in it.

 

[VINNY1]

Yeah, premium is 93 in Chicago. I think I paid $3.73 a gallon last week at Costco.

$3.57 for 93 octane last week at Coscto in the burbs

just a sidenote..APR (2000 mph gogo zoom) tested all gas stations on their stage 1 software...it comes out highest quality (best performing gas) in this order (because of more pure octane gas, no boosters)

1. costco gas
2. shell
3. i forgot
4. forgot this one too
5. ^
6. worst is chevron - avoid it

Quality of gas depends on the region, not just the brand. For instance, Murphy's where I live is better than Texaco.

Stick to the VW recommended top tier brands and you should be fine.

Around here Shell is 93, BP is 91 for some reason.

 

[herbert6368]

So US gas price averagely cheaper that Canada, right? My math sucks.

 

[pdykstra600]

Gas is basically the same thing regardless of what station you buy it at. The octane rating is all that really matters.

 

[jackgti1]

They are extremely close, but its just that little difference that people care about unless its something here like chevron, which for some reason refuses to put out high quality gas..and the reason some stations in OH are 93 and some are 91 is that you're east coast, which has both. Over here 91 is the highest station gas
