No more Sunoco 94

[Big408]

Well I just took my 408W Mustang for a ride. I usually start up the engine about once a month while its covered in the garage for the winter. Well since today was 55 degrees and the roads are all clear, I decided to pull it out and take it for a spin. Still runs good.

I drove down to Uniontown and went to the same Sunoco right on Rt40 down from the mall. I have been getting gas here for years and I've nothing but Sunoco 94 (or higher) since I put the 408 together. Well all the pumps are a max of 93. The guys working behind the counter said Sunoco is dropping their 94 line and only will carry 93.

Did a little research and this seems to be world wide.

Is there any 94 octane gases out there now? (sold at the pump and not by the barrel).

The A-Plus in Brownsville also stopped selling 94

I noticed and now they have 91 octane too which i think is usless

i usually try to run anything 91 or higher... depends on the filling station.

Convert it to E85?

Forgive me for saying this, but I can't help myself...

E85? What a corny thing to suggest. :duck:

I'm suprised Sunoco 94 lasted at the pumps this long. With the price of gas very few would be buying the stuff and it will only go bad sitting.

E85 has a high octane rating. ....100 to 105 octane.

Agreed. Fascinating web page if anyone is interested:

However, I was trying to be cutsie-blonde-bimboish with the corny statement. I think there is a TV ad touting that some ethanols are made from corn.

[coralcoupe1993]

Yup!!! The corn farmers are happy about it too.

[somethingclever]

Yep...i found this out last month....

I'm running 10.5:1 iron-headed combo and kept my timing the same with the 93 stuff....no detonation so i'll just live with the 93. :veryhappy:

[J-rod]

i cant believe it was gas prices....sunoco here always had their 94 same as other places 93...... and even some 91 was same price as sunoco 94.
