Went to get gas today, and noticed the button on the machine read 91 octane instead of the normal 92 for supreme. Not sure when this happened, but it must be the last few days as I got gas at another Cheveron on friday and it was 92. And at 91 octane, it was still 13 cents more than 87.

Booo Cheveron.

[Tim Budong]

which chervron

[CivicTypeRice]

Yea I noticed that tonight when I was at chev on no2,I asked the guy there he said all chev locations will be switching 92 to 91...

[SkunkWorks]

Good thing I fill up with 94. ;)

[StylinRed]

ITS CHEVRON

Booo Cheveron.
(u messed up in the thread title too)

which chervron

[slammer111]

Anyone here actually REQUIRE 92? :rolleyes: Most cars out there use either 87 or 91.

If the difference between 91 and 92 will kill you, just top up your car with 94 at the end. Done.

[SumAznGuy]

I saw it at the Chevron on Hastings at the base of Burnaby Mountain.

[SkinnyPupp]

OH NO ONE OCTANE! SAY GOODBYE TO 59HP :(

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

lol never reallly noticed the difference, 91/92

oh well

[CallTransOpt]

I bought Chevron and i'm a huge jackass

[!Tigger]

87Octane FTW

[RabidRat]

OH NO ONE OCTANE! SAY GOODBYE TO 59HP :(

every little bit helps you jerk :(

[RabidRat]

so anyone know if they're at least scaling the pricing to reflect this change?

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

^

i doubt they will be that generous

[SkinnyPupp]

every little bit helps you jerk :(
Do you really think that?

[canucksfan]

If they did that and lowered the price for 91, then that's fine. But if they charge the same price for 91 as they did for 92 then that's total bullshit.

[Blinky]

Do you really think that?

More octane = MORE VTAAAAAAAAAAK!!!

PS. In honor of wAnder, I think I'll call it ChevEron from now on ;)

seriously dude, it aint that big of a deal

[Tim Budong]

i fill 94 anyways

lol

[bcedhk]

ballinnn

husky 90 ftw.

[skyxx]

Maybe cause most of their 92s are really 91s. To prevent them from being sued(If they do). They changed it to 91. Most gasoline depreciate in octane over time.

[RabidRat]

Do you really think that?

No :lol

but at the same time i didn't mind having that extra bit of assurance that i wouldn't have my timing pulled at full load *shrug*.

iono man, 92 -> 91 could spell the difference between bau tec and bau gai!!11!

[godwin]

You guys do know "middle grade" is just a 1:1 mix of 87+94 mixed right at the pump? Do an average, you will see 1:1 mix yields 90.5, so they actually rounded up. Just because they are now more truthful about the octane value of gas, doesn't mean it is actually any different or worse. I wouldn't be surprised if some competitors call Industry Canada on them.

There are analog dials on the side of the pump, look at it while you pump the "middle grade".. you will see both the lowest mix and the highest mix both tick over simultaneously.

I say "middle grade" because that's pretty much all gas stations in BC do it. No matter it is petrol can, chevron, esso, husky etc etc. You have lowest octane value and highest octane value and the middle grade.

Anyone noticed that 91 is now 14cents more expensive than 87? It used to be 10, then it got jacked up to 12, & now it's 14. God damn it.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

what its 14 cents now???

dear lord

[Momo251212]

wutever. it's stupid to fill ur car with 92 or 91 in Cheveron anyway, since it's ONLY 3 CENTS cheaper than 94 AND 92 is fixed by 92 and 87. so who cares man. unless ur forced to fill up with 92 when ur driving bmw or mb. just use some common sense. there are only 2 kinds of gas in the station, 87 or 94. others are fixed by them.


oh yeah~~~ and u should know that SumAznGuy~lol

[Harvey Specter]

I put 91 in my BMW.

I usually fill up at Petro but 2 days ago I had to fill up at Chevron on Marine and they still had 92, I was actually surprised to see 92 and 94. Petro only has 91 but I think they had 94 a year ago.

[silva95teg]

Costco 91 was only 7 cents more than 87 last time i was there. The 91 there actually worked out to only 1 cent more than the regular across the street.

[InvisibleSoul]

Just slap on a RevScene sticker... instant 5HP.

[shenmecar]

octane booster time!!!11! omgwtfbbqftmfw!!1

[crazyazn]

Only reason to go to Chevron is 94

[NeoDestinyZ]

Thank god my car only takes 94... jk sorry guy.

[willsol]

Thank god my car only takes 94... jk sorry guy.

do you get 94 octane at Chevron or the Sup? or..

[Tim Budong]

my car requires 94...

i guess you tuned ur ECU to run on 94?

[orange7]

meh.. 87 is good enough unless you really need that few extra hp, which is very unnoticeable.

[Benz_05TSX]

Winter Beater with 87 octane FTW~!!!!!!

[silva95teg]

meh.. 87 is good enough unless you really need that few extra hp, which is very unnoticeable.

Yeah you are right, 87 is good enough but only if it is the minimum your car requires. If i put 87 in my car it would ping like crazy. Also the lower the octane the easier it ignites as far as i know, so if you have a car that requires 87 and or was tuned for it you are slightly hurting performance by putting in a higher octane fuel.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

some newer design cars will retard its timing tho so it will not pin, but you do lose power that way

[silva95teg]

Yeah you are right they will, As long as they retard enough to avoid knock then you are probably fine. In the winter it is not as bad. The other problem with running 87 in a car designed for 91 is that when the ecu retards the timing you are no longer running at the optimum and it will hurt fuel economy. So any money you save at the pump may be lost in fuel economy. Just a thought.

[Mugen EvOlutioN]

to be honest fuel economy was NOT noticed in my dads car


the Avalon manual states 87 is fine, but if you want max. performance add 91 octane


fuel milleage has NOT been affected after going thru many tanks of gas

[silva95teg]

If the manual states it is fine then it is a non issue. It is when the car manual says something to this effect,

"This vehicle is designed for and requires use of premium unleaded fuel. If 91 octane fuel [(R+M)/2 method] (96RON) is not available, gasoline as low as 87 octane [(R+M)/2method] (91RON) can be used temporarily for emergency purposes. Use of gasoline lower than 91 octane [ (R+M)/2 method] (96RON) can decrease performance during its use.
Refueling the vehicle with the correct octane fuel a couple of times will restore vehicle performance.

that i would stick to the premium.

[nabs]

the one on king george and 103? still has the 92 octane sign.

[godwin]

It is only the sticker.. the gas has been octane 91 all along.

the one on king george and 103? still has the 92 octane sign.

[seakrait]

yeah, i usually use 92 as well... but i had to fill up with 91 at the chevron by the pt roberts crossing this past saturday. haven't really noticed any difference with my gti (which requires a minimum of 91)...

[skyxx]

^what's your fuel economy for your 337?

[crazyazn]

You NEED 91/+ if it says MINIMUM 91 / 91 REQUIRED...you DON'T NEED 91/+ if it says RECOMMENDED.
Simple as that.

[seakrait]

^what's your fuel economy for your 337?

full tank of 55L goes about 475kms. mostly city driving though. and it has the short-geared 6speed.

[skyxx]

^ Mine's so bad haha. Gets about 400-410.
