nothing but Chevron with Techron for me.

while I don't have a twin, the EJ257 in the STI is notorious for not handling bad gas well.

All I know is that I get crickets regardless of what brand of 91 I put in. However I think it's bullshit how high the legal limit of additives is getting. 10% ethanol and I'm still paying 4.20 for premium? That's horse shit.

Agreed, but not surprising. Not to get toff topic, but one of the dirty little secrets of ethanol as an additive is that it costs about the same as gasoline to produce, hence why we don't see any price difference.

Lol... There are only a few oil refineries in the whole country..
They use all various trucking companies to deliver the fuel to
The end user pumps.. A series of filters and quality checks go along
With it.. The additives respective to each brand are added to the local tankers before delivery.. This is what makes the difference amongst brands..
Since the advent of fuel injection.. Particle standards are adhered to and filtering at the pump has never been better.. But that doesn't stop marketing from telling u why their brand is better.. No need to pay for hype... but it's ur money...

Never said anything about the chirps. Not sure where those replies regarding chirps came from but appreciate the info anyway.

Smirky, sarcastic comments without reading the OP. I love this forum.

edit:I haven't had any chirping issues at all with mine. I've been lucky I suppose.

I wasn't replying to you OP. If I was, I would have said OP. I read the OP. Your comment is at least as smirky as your jimmies got rustled. I have a turbo BRZ. I fill up with 93 octane from multiple different gas stations.
