Do you know if it's the Humbolt St. exit?

I didn't read all the posts on the 3 pages of this thread, so SO SOHHY if this has already been reported.
In Calif., the best octane we can get is 91, except for the very few stations that sell race gas. It must be about 6 or 7 years ago, I had a '95 M3, which I always ran on Cal. premium, at that time it was 92 octane. One day I drove up to my local gas station, and all they had was 91. So I went down the street. All they had was 91 too. It's a conspiracy, and it sucks.
We call it California piszwater.

damn.. i went to the sunoco by my house which is at princton NJ and 94 is gone! and they charged $2.83 for Ultra 93.
They shouldnt put SUPER 91 there because i m sure there will be some people that is not going to pay attention and just fill up with SUPER thinking that its 93. I can't imagine 91 in EVO with a 93 tune.
KA BOOOM!!!!

I went to 2 Sunoco stations last night here in PA. Neither had 94 anymore. They all had 87, 89, 91, and 93.
Its only a matter of time until they get rid of 93 also.

93 is the highest I have seen in my area, besides if you go to the airport for AVGas. I'm just glad most of the gas stations are open again. It sucks to drive to the suburbs to get gas.

i never bothered with the 94 anyway... for the extra 10 cents it's not worth one point of octane.
when i'm back home in Cali i have to use 91 and pump my own fuel, so either way staying in the car while someone else pumps 93 into the car back here in NJ is cool with me. though the downfall of that is that i'm in NJ.

There is a gas station selling 100 Octane in Chino/Chino Hills/Pomona area off the 60 freeway. I went to the station about 4 months ago and they were selling 100 off the pump. Price was around $5.
