Is it me & my imagination or what?? For several years now I have been
burning 1st, Sunoco, because of the then availability of their 94 octane
fuel. 2nd, Chevron or Shell, for what ever reason, price per gallon, maybe. But with the addition of the ETHYNOL blend in gasolines, I have
seemly noticed over the years, slightly, a loss in performance and gas
mileage. My '94 runs very well regardless of the fuel I use. But, out of
curiosity, after reading on-line that a lot of the stations in DC don't
use ETHYNOL yet, I filled up with EXXON 93 octane. My car seems to
have more noticible "surge" and I don't see the gas guage moving as before. Also, seems to have more power in 6th gear going up slight inclines, when before I would down-shift to 5th or 4th gear. Is it me and my imagination or what? Your thoughts. Thanks.
