I have also read many recommendations to buy your gas from a very busy station...to insure a level of freshness!

In CA, the highest I have seen is 91. I always use Chevron.

Sunoco 93 (sometimes 94...when my car needs a treat) or Shell 93.

Rich...

Like you, I have only seen 91 and i also use Chevron--but only because it is the most comvenient station.

Seems to me that the independents used to have higher octanes...but i have not seen anything above 92 in a very long time.

Anyone been to a So. Calif ARCO station lately??? Are they at 91 also????

Unleaded gas, a funny business.

I believe they all get their different octanes from the same refineries.
THey merely add a few additives (where?) fill up their trucks and deliver it
to their respective chain.
When I was looking to buy unleaded futures through a broker it made no mention of what company I was buying the shares from. Should have bought the shares, good experience on the greedy energy sector.

p.s.
I believe Texaco, Sunoco and Chevron are the only ones not to use mid east oil.
