Octane cheating!

$1.65 a gallon! Goddamn that's cheaper than we pay for our crappy 92! You poeple on the east coast suck!

Apparently, the farther away from: New Jersey, Louisiana or Texas you live, the more expensive your gas is. That's where the big refineries are.

I don't understand why 94 octane fuel is available everywhere here in rusty pick-em-up truck country and not in SoCal.

Westside for life nigga! j/k

No emmissions testing and 94 octane fuel? Damn, I would go turbo if that was the case here in California.

in Ontario,OTTAWA CANADA we get Sunoco ultra 94 octane at 67.5 cents a liter, and at some Drummonds gas stations we get 100 octane for about 80 cents/liter
CANADA ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No sweat on the Omni, I grew up in one.

My mom drove Omni's (2 of them!) from 1984 until 1995!

Talking about fearing change, my step-father has been driving a Suburu 4wd wagon since 1980! I think he's on his 4th one.

Actually, there are a number of larger refineries in the San Francisco Bay area. The problem is that _ALL_ of the stations are owned by the gas companies. There is no real competition to keep priced down since you don't have station owners battling for business. Add to that a couple of 'mishaps' at one local refinery that's kept it shut down for, what, two years now?

And then we get the added fun of fule additives like MTBE which was mandated by CARB and the California Senate. That raised the price of our gas out here, and so did oxygenation. Then MTBE was found to be destroying the enviroment so CARB and the CA Senate mandated that it be replaced with methanol, further rasing the price of our gas and making it even worse for our motors!

I love a whole lot of things about California, the politics of out fuels here is not one of them. It's enough to drive you into an electric. Actually, a fuel-cell powered electric could kick ass. Brushless DC motors can have godhead huge amounts of torque!

I tried some of that Sunoco 94 octane- it was ping city. I dumped 2 bottles of 104 in the tank, and my EGT's still read high. I had to drive around like an old lady till that crap was out of my car's system. I only use Exxon now.
