Angry Best Pump Gas

Hey guys,
I think this might be a matter of prefrence, but what pump gas do you think is the best? Like sunoco, BP, marathon, citgo, shell, clark,or sterlings? Those are all the ones we have here. I've always used sunoco ultra 94, but some ppl tell me its not the best. Any thoughts here?

Is there any other pump gas with a higher octane rating than 94? I doubt it. How can any other gas be better?

Union 76 100 octane race gas from the pump. That's the best i've ever used. Too bad it's $4.30/gallon and at only one gas station in the area (that I know of). I also really like Chevron for their 91 octane with techron.

76 in California sells 100 octane at select stations.

use their store locator to find one near you.

According to the site, there are no union 76 within 20 miles of my house. I guess I'll have to see if they sell any 100 octane gas at any local shops near me.

I like Sunoco 94, haven't been able to find anything higher in the area. Even If I did...I wouldn't use it...too much $$ for street driving.

The higher the octane the more resistant to detonation it is, and detonation is what will cause your car to go poooooof.
