Wish we could get 93 octane around here. All they sell is 91. But, the car does not ping on it, so I guess it is OK.

I Politely (well almost politely) told them that I would not frequent their establishment, ever, in the future since I could purchase 93 octane at any other station of my choice for 15 cents a gallon less. I was suprised that the owner seemed genuinely startled & concerned that I would not be back again. (I'm a regular & frequent customer) Apparently most of his customers hadn't even remarked about the switch. Sure wish I could find a station that stocks the 100 octane unleaded (Cam II I think) Crap !!!

I have used sunoco for years in my cars and i only use 93.They have 94 out here in pa but why spend the extra money when 93 is just as good as 94.

Is there some way I can identify this Sunoco station? (i.e. name, street address, intersection, township) I could try to get their phone number from information & give them a call.
