I read an article in Grassroots Motorsports where they put a C5 Corvette on the dyno for baseline HP. They said that different stations with the same octane gave different HP readings. Sunoco was #1, I forget #2, and BP was #3. I have to go to BP because I don't have the other 2.

When I was living in MN I ran nothing but BP 93-octane, now that I'm in Texas I run only Shell V-Power 93-octane. Chevron and Texaco 93-octanes are also very good, as is MobilExxon's.
