When I get a new car I always test them out with different grades & brands of fuels. The only major brand I don't bother with is BP. I've taken apart many carbs that have had their fuel bowls gunked up with a model glue like substance from BP gas. Consistantly Shell has always had the best results. It's good to hear that others have had good success with Chevron as that brings a bit of confidnce to a backup source.

You Cali guys will never find 93 oct fuel in your state. That is just not right with the tree huggers and most regulated state in the union. Many of truth said in a jest.
