Re: Anyone run Sunoco? (silvervetteman)
AS often as possible as Sunoco is the only place around here that I can get anything other than 91. Also in Canada, Esso is well known for having the dirtiest gas ie. highest sulphur content and a couple of guys that I met running bb's and strokers told me to stay away from the Esso.

It's the only thing I can get around here that's 94 octane. I hate Petro Can. I will not buy cut rate gas only brand names and Sunoco is my brand.

I always run the synoko 94 octane. I havent tried much else because I dont want to risk any engine damage. I have a farily high compression of 10 to 1 and I have had no pinging problems so far. Its worth the extra couple cents to me to run the best stuff I can find.

I seem to have no problems with 91 octane here in CO and 11.2:1 ratio. It amazes me, because I'm at full timing too. The only thing I think that is keeping it from detonation/pinging is the .043 quench height.

I use Wal-Mart (Sam's Club) 93 octane -- good stuff! And usually the cheapest in town (currently $1.35/gal).
