I use nothing less than Chevron w/ Techron 91.

Ok, if I somehow run out of gas or I'm nearing empty with no Chevron in sight, I'll go with Shell V-Power or Texaco w/ Techron--whichever I see first.

Gas stations by the freeways tend to be high they if they are more inland. I'm paying roughly $3.73 for gas right now--but it's getting up there.

Sorry to bring up an old throwback thread but I just came from Vista, CA for the first time. I noticed there's no 93 octane gas? I asked around different gas stations and they looked at me crazy. I never thought I would see a 7eleven gas station before too, that threw me off a bit. Doesn't your car manual mention using only 93 octane? Please I love to hear the input from you guys out there. I was thinking of moving there someday, I already enjoy driving on CA-78.

91.. any gas station.. All the same ****.. some just have extra stuff in it to keep it clean. Your car is new so everything is already clean for now so the gas stations dont matter.

Welcome to CA We don't have 93 octane, 91 is the highest common octane available. My friend used to get 100 octane. I want to say it was somewhere in Irvine, but this was 6-7 years ago.

on the Lexus 91 octane shell. On the Civic which is turbo 9 psi (with a boost creep to about 11 psi) running ultra rich and super injectors, i use any gas station that has 91, my injectors seem to stay clean, so no preference for the gas station for the civic. However I feel that the Lexus should get better.
