Hey all,

I'm in southeastern MA, and I checked Sunocos in RI and MA, and they no longer have Ultra 94 octane?

They still have 93. I know it probably didn't make much (any) difference, but I had always put 94 in the car since new. Oh well, as long as we have 93 I'll be happy. I really hope we don't have to start using 91 like the poor Cali folks.

I also replied to a post from MalibuJack in the Northeast region forum, and this is also happening in NY...

Thoughts?

I always thought it was a waste anyway for the extra cost. I feel that my Evo ran better on Exxon 93 than it did on Sunoco 94. I'll have to check the Sunoco local to me and see if they still have 94..I'm in Ohio.

 

Just stopped at Sunoco 3 days ago and they had 94....Cincinnati area.

 

jersey still has it.... only NY is effected down here

 

You know, I had a tank of the 93 a few days ago, and I seemed to be getting more knock on the SAFCII. I just resoldered it last night, and got my second tank of Sunoco 93 today, and car runs better with lower knock counts. Maybe resetting the ecu helped? I've had a tank of Shell 93 once or twice, and car seemed to run as good or better than the Ultra94 as well, so perhaps I agree that the extra octane point probably didn't help, and a better 93 octane gas may even make the car run better.

I guess I was just worried about losing 93 octane, but if we keep it I think it won't be a big deal...

Take care,

i have to say my experiences with 94 octane sunoco have been very good. i"ve noticed a much improved pull to the redline as well as improved shifting, the car just seems to love the 94.. i try not to ever use anything less.. i really think it DOES make a noticeable difference

just my 2 cents

 

are your sunocos even called that any more?...i know all the ones around my area got bought and are now called valero....never heard of them b4 this...but as soon as they got bought 94 went bye bye

 

Most our local Sunoco's stopped carrying 94 about a month after I bought my EVO. I'm guessing they don't sell enough 94? There's still a few 94 pumps left in town. I filled up my first 3 tanks with 94, and I was getting very bad gas mileage (160 mi/city). I couldn't make to a Sunoco one time, and I settled for 93. I gained 20-30 mile on my tank, and so I've been filling with 93 ever since.

 

i hope we don't lose 94 in dayton, ohio, my evo loves it, haven't noticed the gas mileage difference, although i don't floor it everywhere i go, i just firmly believe that the car loves higher octane,

in a recent conversation with mark at quantum racing, he told me the japanese evos run on 98 octane stock..

 

In Pennsylvania I noticed 92 and 94. No 93, what ta heck

 

Sunocos in Delaware are now selling Ultra 93. This sucks. I had my car tuned on 94 oct by Shiv. I've been filling up with 94 ever since.

 

CT lost 94 at Sunoco in January

 

Didn't see this, the recent hit is PA, DE, VA, and MD

 

CT lost 94 a month after i was tuned for it.

 

Still got it in NNJ!
