If your'e looking for 92 Octane in Las Vegas I found some?
It's Exxon on the corner of Sahara and Eastern which is not far from the strip. Enjoy while it lasts! Be safe!

 

Thanks for your post, that was very considerate of you to let people know where they can find something over 91 octane.

One thing to remember about Exxon, however, is that it is generally among the lower energy content fuels, as it is reformualted year-round and has been for the past few years (it's generally a clean fuel, just low energy). A good quality 91 octane fuel with a higher energy content will do a better job in many cases than a 92 octane fuel with a lower BTU (energy) content.

There are always exceptions of course, as fuel quality certainly varies, but in those areas further out West we're seeing that usually Chevron is doing a good job, as well as Texaco & Amoco with regard to energy content.

Good luck & thanks for your post!

 

Any advice or insight on these brands?

 

Texaco & Amoco are generally among our favorites, they are generally excellent fuels to use! They both generally have a good high energy content and excellent quality addtives, etc.

 

Last year when I lived in Henderson and Las Vegas, I just went to the AM/PM and got the regular unleaded lol...although i had a different truck and I didn't have a chip.

 

What about 93 octane BP gasoline. I live about a 1/4 mile away from a BP gas station. I currently use their 89 octane because the cost of 93 is outrageous. But if I do order a Superchip, would the 93 octane be OK to use with it?

 

Hi Wolverine,

I wouldn't use BP unless my only other choice was walking, stock or modified. It's funny, as BP & Amoco are now merged, and Amoco is so far still the same good fuel it's always been, while BP is getting harder and harder to find. In general, our experience with BP gasoline is that it's traditionally been a dirty fuel, and low energy as well. You'll get a better value and results with something like a Texaco or Amoco.

BP launched a national TV ad campaign about a year ago last Christmas, saying they were making their fuel cleaner and better quality, but just a few days after that ad campaign was launched, it disappeared. To me, those ads gave me the disinct impression of someone saying "yes, we know it's been a dirty fuel and low quality, but we're changing that and now it's great." Perhaps that is why it was pulled, we'll never know. What we see right now is most Amoco's getting the green & yellow BP colors, but still pumping Amoco, so maybe they just changed their marketing strategy and that's why those ads were pulled.

It might be that your BP station is actually supplying Amoco to the pump, so make sure to look at what the pump says, if it's BP or Amoco. If it's BP, I would avoid it.

Good luck!

 

Thank Mike. I'll go to Phillip's 66 or Texaco from now on to get my gas.
