93 octane???

Hey guys, anyone know where any SHELL V-Power 93 stations are...if any in the twin cities area? Also, what happened to BP stations that carried 93 octane like in the Centerville (Hwy96/35e) location?

Also, on the STi and EVO do you guys find that non-oxy is actually worse than just using 92 premium with the 10% ethanol blend?

Thanks.

 

I believe all BPs are 91 now... or were. Something about a shortage or some other deal. I haven't seen a Shell 93 in the cites for a long time.

 

my family owns a station in osseo, Osseo Express, and we dispense no ethanol, non-oxygenated, 92 octane. Its priced higher than regular premium, but my subie runs smoother (could just be me thinking that) and definitely gets better gas mileage.

 

I noticed this week that my local BP is now again marked 92 :dunno:.

 

correct me if i am wrong, but wasnt the octane change due to additive changes or something like that?

 

The Mobile station off of 60th and Penn has 92 again....bp across the street is still 91

 

They have a Shell in Wayzata with 93 non oxy and some 103 I believe, but the 103 is super spendy.

 

Sweet. :biggrin:

<--- back on regular gas until I can get a new laptop

 

:emo::emo:

 

I'll sell you one =)

 

If it's a Thinkpad t40 for real cheap, I'll consider it. lol.

 

I've got a T60...not cheap though

 

You sure that one is 93? I was out there a month or so back and it was 92, 103 and I think E-85.

 

they don't carry 93...they have two 92's....regular 92 vpower and 92 no ethonal vpower which its 10 cents differences...they also selling 110 leaded fuel a year around, as well the e85

 

The BP 91 was a temporary thing, the ones marked 91 probably haven't been refilled with 92 yet.

I see BP 92 non oxy all over the place outside of the metro and BP 93 relatively commonly out there too (Hinkley, I think was the last place I saw it).

 

I pumped there last night at shells, it's 92

 

I really wish I could go to a BP station and ask about the 91/92 octane stuff. every one ive gone to and walked into either the person had no clue it switched to 91 octane to begin with or they were having a hard time countin g change out to the customer infront of me. I have always been impressed with the level of service at the Shell station a couple lights from 169 on old shokopee road. Reminds me of the old station my dad took me to as a kid where the owner gave me a soda every time. now its swipe card get gas and gooo and the most service I hope for from BP is a good squeegy and not smelly water.

Ill look around for 92 oct bp station on the way home, I need fuel.

 

Lexington Ave and 94 is the one I filled up at.

 

^^ like I said above 60th and Penn has 92 at Mobile thats gotta be within 10 miles of your place Chuan

 

I always fill there now. It's been 92 the whole time I've been using them. I used to go across the street to BP when their non-oxy was 92 but when it dropped to 91 I jumped over.
