93 Octane
Anyone know where to find 93 octane around here? All I can find is 92. I am specifically interested in the North Everett/Marysville WA area.
|
it's all over snohomish and king county... you have to go to texaco, chevron, higher grade gas stations
|
Well I have checked a lot of the big name stations in Marysville, and they all have 92 octane at best. Hopefully I can find some in Everett.
93 v 92 probably won't make on bit of difference. Still I would like to know where I can gets some 93. I am also curious as to what kinda gas other areas have. For example, what octane does Portland have to offer? And since you can't pump your own, how many times do you have to remind the attendant that you need premium. |

There used to be a Shell in Bothell that sold higher octane gas, but I am not sure if they still do.

I checked the Chevron in Oregon and I dont think it was 93 octane, concerned about that as well.
|
I think I have checked every big name gas station in Marysville, and premium is 92 everywhere. I hope Everett or Mukilteo has some 93. At least it beats the 91 in they got in Cali.

My car has been making the chirping cricket noise. I filled up wit ethanol free gas and that seems to have cured the problem. I got the ethanol free gas at a 76 station in Marysville by the Winco
|
This site seems pretty accurate. I found the one in Everett on broadway and the one in Marysville. Both of them have 92 octane with no Ethanol.

Which brings up the question--is it better to get no-ethanol gas from a no-name station, or E10 from a brand name place?

That's still such a weird issue. I have only ever filled up at shell with 92 and never once have heard the chirp. @2500 miles on an AT if that matters. Have had some other weird stuff though

I don't think the crickets are a result of Ethanol, I think it's an intermittent issue and the sound going away (temporarily) with non-ethanol is a coincidence. I think there's a lot of placebo options floating around out there when it comes to what "fixes" what. If someones wants to float me $100, the Shell station by my house sells 101 Unleaded Octane race fuel for $10/gallon. I'd be happy to buy that and report back! :D |

some non-ethanol gas stations seem to have higher octane gas if anyone is interested in running non-ethanol gas and where to purchase it at check out http://pure-gas.org/index.jsp?stateprov=OR |
One of the best places for gas is the Costco - not because it's any higher octane, but because they sell it so quick it's fresh. I get the least amount of knock on the turbocharged n/a subaru with their gas.
The main issue is that the car runs way too lean in the initial rpm's, it's something I've noticed right off the bat. Pings like hell, and it's not because of gas quality. |
I deffinetely had crickets on Costco gas.
