    Post Good Info

    I have been reading the Top Tier list for many years now.
    There weren't as many companies on the list 10 years ago.
    Years ago only the top octanes from Exon-Mobil qualified, not their regular gas.

    Shell was one of the first on the list and I tend to stick to them when possible.
    Chevron was also on the list early on.

    Good or bad, I've been using Irving gas for years. I guess some TECHRON cleaner is needed.

    Good find George, thank you for sharing. Interesting read.

    the "seat of my pants" feel has always told me which gas is better than others. On a car that's been modified and tune for 93, I can certainly attest that not all 93 is ready equal. I try to only run Shell in the cobra

    Everytime I have to fill up elsewhere, I always notice the car runs a little rough. This article just validates that for me
