BP gas ok?

My dealer advised me not to use BP gas, he claims the additives in this gas are not good for the C4S engine.

Is this true??

Bull sh*t, BP/Amoco is probably the best fuel out there, its all I use along with Sunoco. Exxon/Mobil uses a winterized formula all year round which can limit performance.

I always heard Chevron with Techron was best

Union76 / Sunnoco is all over right? I usually fill up with Chevron w/ Techron, but if I can't find one of those, I stop by a Union76/Unocal station.

Every now and then, that's where I get the Octane 100 race gas to mix with our 91 octane.

At least on the east coast you guys can get Octane 93 right out of the pump right?

Thank goodness for 93, up until a few months ago I used to buy Sunoco 94 all the time from the pump but they discontinued it due to the new additives, we're still better off than California though
