Well, so far Sunoco still usually has the 94 here. But the general quality of their stations, and the quality of their personnel have decreased a bunch.

More additives to be on the "Top-Tier" list would not be a bad thing, IMO.

Shell v-power all the way for me.

Well, I'm on my 1st tank of V-power, and unless it's my imagination, the engine seems smoother and more responsive to throttle than with Sunoco Ultra. I'll report more as I run this longer.

Just filled the tank for the 1st time after the previous fill-up on V-Power. In combination city/freeway driving with several full-throttle bursts, I got almost exactly 20 mpg (289 miles, 14.4 gallons).

That's the best I've done in local driving for years. With the Sunoco Ultra I was getting a max of 18 mpg under similar conditions.

Interesting....

When I lived in OH, I used to fill up my FD at Sunoco.

When I moved down here, I had Shell MC and filled up only at Shell... Now, I fill up at the cheapest gas station:)

I guess, I need to go back to Shell:)

Well, if you do, it'd be interesting to see if you notice any difference in driveability or mileage.
