Pardon my ignorance but does this mean better performance? Or was that just a patriotic FYI? (I'm not at all being rude, I'm completely serious... I'll be moving to the US soon and any info on the fuel quality at various gas stations would be appreciated!) Thanks.

buying domestic oil is good for competition.
Dependence on foreign oil is making life very expensive nowadays.

What Perfectlap said AND Chevron with Techron is the best at keeping your fuel injectors and system clean.

Sweet, thanks!

Sorry for taking this thread off-topic... Please continue discussing mid- vs. high-octane gas, knock sensors, etc.

HO2GO...Welcome to the US eh?! I have been in Toronto on business for the last month and love it! Both sides of the border have great things to offer!

By the way, I have had good luck with Chevron/Techron. If it is good enough for those cartoon cars it is good enough for me right?

Perfect lap...well said. Reliance on foreign oil has become very costly. As soon as they put out a hybrid Porsche with the same performance, I will be the first in line! I heard rumors of a hybrid Cayenne...don't really want one of those, but would love to stick it to the middle east again.
