94 octane Petro

Ok so sense when did pertro canada get rid of their 94 octane gas?
i went lastnight and they got rid of it!!
i asked the clerk lady and they said all perto canadas have gotten rid of 94 and they buy it from Chevron
does that mean that Chevron would be getting rid of 94 octane to?
when did this happen!

i have not seen 94 in petro canada for few years now, chevron has always been the source of 94 octane.

No Petro has 94 in select locations for a long time but I too noticed a out of order sign on the 94 pumps now.... I don't care as I only use Chevron gas anyways for 94

Berz out.

Yeah i only use petro if i have to
but if petro buys their 94 from chevron
does that mean that either
A. Chevron is gonna stop having 94 thats why petro stops having it
B. Because petro just didnt sell very well

i mean either way i dont care just as long as i have 94 ha

petro might just have stopped carrying it cause not many ppl bought it. most buy it from chevron directly cause they probably don't know petro even has it. i know i was one of those ppl until recently

and i still wouldn't buy it from petro, as they may buy it from chevron, but then they probably add in their own additives. i am a religious user of chevron.

If your turbo and your tuned for 94 its deadly to use anything less. My GF's RSX-S ony see's 92 if you use less it runs like a bag of smashed assholes.

Berz out.

94 is a waste. Petro got rid of it because there is not enough demand for it.

HollyZ32 your car will run fine on 91.

I had a customer once with a harley that was out of gas and was afraid 91 would not work on his bike. I asked his be they ride Harley's in Californina because you can't get 94 anywere.

You can fill up your tank with half high octane and the other half low octane. It should be fine as I sometimes used to do that when I had a 300zx. You just can't gun it or your engine will ping, so take it easy on the pedal.

Other than some select cars, isn't using 94 over 92 usually just overkill, meaning more money but no noticable gains? Im talking about engines that require just 87, or even 92.

But if your in a hurry isnt that pretty time consuming ? lol
having to pay for it stop wait pay for it again
that would just be a pain in the ass
and what the fun of owning a 300zx if you cant gun it hahaha
well i mean i dont do it all the time
but sometimes its fun
i love it hahaha
