Source for 91 octane fuel?
 
Does anybody know of a local source for 91 octance fuel?

Every station that I've seen is 87-89-93.

TIA

Just a guess - don't Shell stations usually have many different octane grades? I seem to remember seeing 87-89-91-93-94 at some. Couln't tell you where, though (sorry). Just curious - why?

The new Benz I picked up calls for 91 in the owners manual but heck if I've seen that available anywhere.

Just more a question of curiosity then anything else.

I think the 91 is a minimum rating . . . . Sunoco used to have 5 different grades of gasoline, however, not sure there are many around any more.

Just put high test in that thing and let her gooooooooooooooo

Doug, why did you buy a Benz, when you could have bought my Carrera?

What about puting in half a tank of 93, and finishing it off with 89? It takes a little extra effort, and two credit card swipes, but it will save you some $$ over time.

FWIW, I use 93 even though only 91 is required for my 911. I'm too lazy to do the 'double-pump' method :)

Richard - I'll give you a ride sometime and let you answer that question for yourself :wink:

Show and tell..
 
What model did you get? Let's see some pictures :)

Vu - I picked up a 2001 C240 (4 door sedan) with 30k miles on the clock. Exterior is aspen green and interior is tan leather. Car is fully loaded and even has the tiptronic 5 speed transmission for those days I want to drive it like a sports car :D
