Default What is the best fuel

There has been lots of discussion on fuel additives. I live in AL and have lots of choices for 93 fuel. In my old C6Z I always ran independent pure gas 93 octane. I pick my new Z up 2 weeks from tomorrow at the museum. Do I fill with Shell on the road and stay with my pure gas at home or go with another brand. I noticed this weekend Costco has top Tier 93 octane premium.

I also have options to fill with race fuel.

Honestly, as long as its a station that has a frequent replacement rate, it doesn't matter.

Dont fill up in the boonies at a place that gets used once a month and always use 93 and you will never notice a difference unless you are a conspiracy theorist.

As far as race gas, no point unless you are headed to the drag strip.

I live in the panhandle of Florida and we have 93 octane for our premium. I use chevron, Exxon, and even Sams club and have never had a problem with any of them (knock on wood). Congrats on your new car and post some pictures when you get her.

Use any top tier brand gas.

Shell, exxon, chevron just to name a small few.

I always use shell, and (v-power for the Z and my motorcycle). Shell is blocks from my house so it's convenient.
