Sunoco ultra is no longer 94, its 93 now octane

[gotsmack]

I went to get gas and stopped at a sunoco station. I noticed that their ultra brand is now 93 octane. It used to be 94.
anyone know why they did this? It kinda makes it not worth it since premium at exxon is 92 octane.

Do you have a car that needs 94 octane gas?

Sh!t.. at least you don't live where I do. The highest here is only 90. My truck doesn't like 90 too well... I wish I could find 91.

There are no Sunocos in Texas. Id never even heard of them until I drove back from Pennsylvania last year.

Think that is bad.

Where I am now Premium is 91 Plus is 87 and regular is 83 octane at all stations while paying same price for 83 octane that rest of the Country is getting 85 Octane.

I thought octane was standard??? Van runs like crap on this junk.

No idea, but I've never seen 92 octane in NJ. The 3 standard grades at every station I've gone to are 87, 89 and 93

I drive a volvo, I just need premium, but since I;ve ben doing a lot of driving lately I've been tracking mileage. I'm getting on 23.6mpg highway on 93. I'll test out 92 next week.

My Civic was made for 87, which makes my wallet happy.

I live in northern NJ, by Giants stadium and at the sunoco I went to premium was 91 octane and ultra was 93. I remember last time I looked Exxon's premium was 92.

While you're at it, you might as well see how 89 works for you too. But don't base any MPG calculations on a single tank of gas.

I really didn't know Sunoco was still around. Interesting.

 

[Sukhoi]

Sunoco is all over the Cleveland area for sure.

 

[AdamSnow]

Still 94 here... I bought some at 4:30 🙂

Regular where I live (WA) is 87 octane

Regular where I am now (CO) is 85

Sunoco is all over Ontario as well. Great gas, up here anyways.

I pity all the fools that buy that when their car requires regular.
