all holiday gas stations carry 93

yes, but as i mentioned and as holiday mentions, it's high in ethanol and detergents - ethanol is something like 9:1 a/f, versus gas 14.7:1, so you need to run more fuel. also, holiday goes through tons and tons of gas and the consistancy of quality doesn't seem to be there. i used to use it all the time until a few times i was having wierd issues that i could only trace back to a bad tank of gas.

enes; oxygenated gas is gas with ethanol. ethanol is good for emmissions and has some advantage in the winter (stations up the ethanol % in the winter), but increases the amount of fuel you need, thus lowering gas mileage, effectively lowering octane.

as far as i've found, and what i was asking here, is that amoco's non-oxy 92 is the best pump gas in the state, but i'd love to find out i'm wrong
