Also, I am fairly certain Valero fuel is produced in South America, I know that's where the company itself is from.

Would you mind posting a plot of a 2.3/t67 and at what boost level....

I've been contemplating switching to a 67 but can't find a plot of one on a 2.3

Shell, Sunoco and BP are the best ones I have found.

Hey Dave, remember when you tuned my and D. Lowe's car on the BP gas we had? When you ran into knock and asked us these gas questions...had me about to rethink everything. BP is all that goes into my EVO. After all of these reviews I may have to check out Shell, esp. when I make the trip up that way.

It is not unusual for private stations to put 87 octane in 93 octane tanks

we are actually able to get VP fuels from the pump in select areas.

They sell their 91 and 93 pump fuel and even have VP 100 unleaded streetblaze straight from a pump

Used to run this on my KB'd 03 Cobra

Where can i get this??? i am down in San Diego

I use to be a diehard Shell Fan, All I would buy, and tuned my car on it, switch to Valero and tuned on it and the knock threshold is slightly better.

if bad gas does come around, it really does not matter where you fill up. The trucks stop not jus at one branch of stations. they stop at lots of different ones.
