    Yeah, its going from 93 to 91 what bugged me, had been wondering why i was having to get 92, then went to 91. Just waiting till 08 or 09 when they slip in 90.

    agree about holiday. when i went looking around for fuel and saw holiday was higher octane for less i was wondering, went ahead and stuck to bp.

    Heh, I just noticed this the other day, I figured there might be a thread on it here (if not I was going to ask). The BP I use most often is at County B2 and Fairview, and just over lunch I tried the one at B and Dale...both are labeled 91 now. They do look like stickers, not entirely new buttons though.

    Ah well, who cares, I drive like a granny and my commute is 6 miles each way.

    Use both shell and bp, shell more often. I haven't noticed any change at shell.

    Might want to try that.

    I usually get non-oxy at the BP at Dale and County B and the BP at Wheelock and I-35E. I was in the neighborhood and was desperate for fuel, but I just noticed the BP at Dale & County B changed to non-oxy 91. Its been three or four months since I was there. I just moved and there is a Marathon by my new place that sells 92 non-oxy. It's located at Century and Upper Afton Rd. Just south of I-94 and Century. Might be out of the way for many of you, but I would rather have my car die of thirst then fill up elsewhere.
