94 octane gas
 

Is it me or has 94 octane gas dissapeared? The last 4 gas stations i'v been to did not have 94. All the petros seem to have stopped selling it. hmmm? maybe only chevron has it now.

other stations had 94 before? i always thought it was just chevron, at least here in BC :confused:

some of the newer petro-cans still have it....

its supply and demand...cheveron = win.

yeah most petros had it before. Husky also has 94 but I only goto petro and chevron for 94. Never filled up with husky before.

Petro is getting rid of 94 and thats straight from one of there reps.
94 is a waste of money.

Sure, if you drive a low compression, naturally aspirated commuter car.
Put 91 octane in either of my cars, one which was tuned on 94 to 19psi with gobs of timing, the other, a high compression V8, and you'll be buying new motors soon.

94 has it's place. Your obtuse generalization reelks of ignorance and a lack of experience. Do us a favor and read more, post less.

94 oct is avail at most chevrons... bitch finding it in someplaces in the states tho...

It's hard to find it in many places outside BC. There are no Chevrons outside BC in Canada.

There are some stations that still have 94 octane in Washington, and I think Sunco still have 100 octane, but those are becoming less and less.
I think Calif. went with 91 octane as being the highest grade available. There was a big discussion about this last year, IIRC.

And Manic is right. There is no need for 94 octane gas at the pumps. That's what home made octane booster is for. =P

Most people won't benefit from 94 octane. But most high performance sports cars REQUIRE higher octane fuel.

Now that Petro Canada got rid of the 94 octane, I hate getting 91 octane from there since it's the same hose that the 87 octane is coming out of. So the first few liters of 91 octane I'm buying is actually 87 octane :eek5r:

yikes... i hope 94 octane dosen't go the way of the dodo because my car is chipped for it :o

For California, 91 Octane is the highest octane pump gas available. There are some gas stations (76 comes to mind) that sell a higher octane for the Lancer Evo which I think is 98 or 10x octane but they come ONLY in a barrel.

Sig'ed mutha' fucka! :D

i feel so left out for using 89 :(

im sure chevron will still have 94

tho there isn't really a big need of it in the population anyways. ppl who use 94 brought it onto themselves by tuning their cars for performance.

Do you see more people with toyotas or turbocharged rice rockets?

what about the people who bought hig hperformance vehicles that weren't monster tuned?

to bad for petro. I was a long time customer because of the petro points. Now im only going to Chevron for the 94 octane.

Hope thye dont get rid of it either.

uh......i would only use that in a last ditch resort if there was no 94 octane, the best they had was 89 and i had about 19 bottles of octane booster to use

No manufacture requires or recommends 94 oct in North America even Ferrari requires 91 oct. If you have had your car tuned for higher oct that’s a different story. I bet 99% of the owners who put 94 oct in there car don’t have there cars tuned for 94 so it’s a waste. Many provinces and stated don’t even sell 93 or 94 oct.

If Chevron stops selling 94 oct or you move to another province what will you do?

I remember a Harley owner who was out of gas and afraid to put 91 in his bike because he was told it would only run on 94. I asked him do people own Harleys in California because the only sell 91 oct down there. The guy stood there with a confused look on his face, put in a few $ gas and rode to Chevron.

If chevron gets rid of the 94, then there's still 92. Or would you go with the husky 94? lol

Here's what I got in an e-mail from Petro Canada today:

if you really wanna petro canada 94 octane, just buy chevron 94 and add tactrol in it. you'll have a petro canada 94.

but i heard that techron is better than tactrol tho.

Petro gas does not contain techron your mix would.

you mean exotics? As long as chevron has it, then its fine. Not like everyone has a ferrari and lambo. We aint in Monaco.
