93 octane - WTF? this gas situation is ridic

alot of stations are out of gas and 93 is impossible to find. i pass approx 7 stations on the way to work on a 10 mile stretch... 1 had 93 - 3 were completely out.

discuss.

[Revmaynard]

That god for 87! LOL

[4dmin]

That god for 87! LOLi almost had to go w/ 87 + octane booster

[Revmaynard]

I'm just laughing at someone I know who bought a car that requires premium and couldn't afford it before all this gas bs got bad. Lol

lol ya thats funny... i paid 4.50 this morning at the only place that had it.

[DecoyOctopus]

idk why they dont have premium...i mean most people use regular, logically they should be out of regular right?

[slostang]

these are the times I love my powerless motor. It's happy with 87.

[DJ Maestro]

Hyundai motor FTW!! :D

That would raise you to 87.3 octane in a full tank. Just use 87 and stay out of boost. The fd stays in the garage and I'm driving the Montero until this gets figured out.

[EJ25RUN]

Hyundai motor FTW!! :D

whatever. I filled up 1 week ago and I'm at half tank.

Light foot ftw.

[Hulud]

87 FTMFW!!!! lol

just drive up and down 41 you will find some, thats what i did and a few stations still had 93

Have you modded the Montero since you got it?

[BobbyFresco]

I have no choice but to use premium, or at least that's what the manufacturer suggests...

It's the same way in SC right now...Most stations are out of every grade of gas and it sucks....

my dub will run but really bad on 87... i did that once before on my 1.8t - it sputtered like crazy and idled really bad. both my dub/benz req 91+

should of waited and got TDI :lmfao:

[Ran]

idk why they dont have premium...i mean most people use regular, logically they should be out of regular right?Actually, most cars these days run on premium fuel only.

Luckily enough my Mustang, despite being an 08, has 40 year old technology in it so it can run on swamp gas! Hooray!

[Sport1.3]

no 93 for me :(

[Kevykev]

That's why i'm keeping the car that requires premium in the garage for a few. I've got 2 others that I'm working with that can run on 87 and 89 so i'll be good.


...Or WILL I!!!>?????

[BB1_Luda]

I searched around forever around Lawreceville.
All only have regular.

I had to drive all the way to the Shell on Satellite and Steve Reynolds.

They had Premium for $4.29. (while a Texaco had premium for $4.79)

if you need gas in lawrenceville you need to go to sugarloaf/29/five forks area...

racetrac, murphys, ingles, texaco, shell, citco, qt, bp, cheveron... someone always has gas... murphys at walmart has had the cheapest and been full since sh!t went down. i want to say there were at 3.75 today. now finding 93 is a whole other situation :lmfao:

[eViLMunkey]

wow... hope they get their sh!t straight before my trip down there.. I use 93 in my hatch, but I will use 87 as a last ditch. . I find it odd how they are having this problem w/ fuel. .

[BB1_Luda]

now finding 93 is a whole other situation :lmfao:

Yea that's the thing. 93 is hard to find.
I can't use anything else. :no:

[Ran]

Hwy 92 from Alpharetta Hwy to I-575, not one gas station had fuel. There was a QT near my house that had regular and it was a nightmare getting in there. I got a quick splash and left in a hurry. It's crazy.

[collins]

monkey, you really dont need to run 93 in ur hatch if its a stock motor... ur just pissing money away... i tried a few tanks in teh teg when i had it, and didnt notice any difference at all. no performance differences, NOR mileage differences.



i wish my car could take 87... the 04's with the ls1's can be programmed with an 87 octane map that just takes alot of timing out of it, but my car wont accept that :(

[eViLMunkey]

I prefer to use 93 after working at a gas station and learning of the mix and match crap they do w/ the lower grades... plus using a higher grade burns cleaner... not doing it for a performance end...

[MR.EM1]

all i find is 93 octane in flowery branch/gainesville/oakwood thank god i use 93

[flak_monkey]

Glad I'm not in the camaro for now.

QT off sugarloaf and 316 was out last night, but this morning they were full of everything. I'm driving benz today, but I am filling the WRX up after work. Hopefully something is left there!

[Evil Goat]

15mpg + Premium only = Still loving every second of it.

[osnap]

yeah im premium only and i cant find it ANYWHERE. stopped at 6 stations last night and 6 on the way to class this morning... i may not be able to go to work tomorrow.

[1439/2000]

Have you modded the Montero since you got it?


Just a brush guard and maintenence. It gets about the same mpg as my fd but I can do it on 87.

[ironchef]

my dub will run but really bad on 87... i did that once before on my 1.8t - it sputtered like crazy and idled really bad. both my dub/benz req 91+

should of waited and got TDI :lmfao:Really? I've got a 2.0T A4 which also requires 91+, but I can't find any, so I've had to use 87. And so far, I've had no noticeable difference than using 93 all the time.

[jew_boy]

my friend woke up around 5:30am just so he can get to the gas station around 6:30 and the gas truck gets there at 7:00am and they are most of the time out by 9:00am

some crazy sh!t

[Nemesis]

I have to use premium as well...but I have a flash ready to go when I cant find it.


**waits to hear all the boosted cars go TINK TINK TINK TINK **

[green91]

I got lucky and kroger near me had all grades this afternoon, so i filled up my honda with 93. Im in a predicament though, i can run 87 in my truck but it only gets 20-22mpg.. or i can get 32+mpg but gotta have 93 octane in my honda lol.

[alpine_aw11]

Good old Jeep inline six. Seriously though, when is this **** going to stop? So many stations have been out for the past few days. I may be able to run off 87, but I don't have much time even with a full tank lol.

[dohc4.6sc]

idk why they dont have premium...i mean most people use regular, logically they should be out of regular right?

SOME stations will say they are out of all grades except premium, jack up the price sky high, and sell it first.

[Julio]

lol.. I have premium for days.. But I wont share and is not for sale to the public .. ****, Ive been driving the vette for about a week straight now, enjoying the nice weather... lol

[osnap]

finally found some tonight about 15 miles out of my way... had to wait in line for it but it was worth it, especially since it was only 4.27/gal woo

[flak_monkey]

The QT at North Druid and Briarcliff had premium the other day.

[blaknoize]

Well GA's supply is low or somethin. I saw it on the news. Wherever GA gets its fuel from got fuked up. And yes 87 FTMFW.

[DinanM3atl]

idk why they dont have premium...i mean most people use regular, logically they should be out of regular right?

Stations don't keep as much premium in the tanks and they are smaller tanks IIRC. So if there is a rush on the fuel it will go out.

More cars on the road take regular so if regular is out it is going to get filled up first.

Amen I've been driving on E for like three days yesterday I had to take some out of one of my other cars just to go to work and I'm still on mother freakig EEEEEEE!!!!!! Their are no gas stations around here with gas, sat in line today for 20 min. and when I was the second from last car to the pump it ran the F out:no: ... This $hit sucks..... And I can't drive my SI cause I haven't seen 93 in about two weeks no joke....

[RL...]

the whole as situation is bs

gas prices has more than tripled since bush became president. I blame everything on him.

[Kaiser]

Why do stupid people blame/credit the most powerless person in government with everything? This is why so many other countries have presidents who're acknowledged as figureheads and who take the blame for everything bad, while the rest of the government can get on with the business of governing.

[tdurr]

^^ why is he called commander and chief then? STFU noob.

back to gas... once the tankers fill up you have a 5 hour max before the station is empty again... its dumb. *sigh* damn sheeple....

[Got Milk?]

i drove to 5 different gas stations before finally finding me some premium.

[Nemesis]

^^ why is he called commander and chief then? STFU noob.



oh dear god..... the stupidity in this thread is rampant.

[The Yousef]

i got 1/2 a tank until i run out...and i'm going to squeeze as much as i can out of that tank... :lmao:

Bush controls gas prices. Bush controls the poor lending practices and artificially inflated real estate values.

Wow.

Do some reading. The POTUS is a figurehead. He has little REAL power.

[eViLMunkey]

I find it odd how the Southeast is the only area in shortage. . And everywhere else across the nation are fine on their fuel situation

[Ran]

I find it odd how the Southeast is the only area in shortage. . And everywhere else across the nation are fine on their fuel situationIt's not even the Southeast, it's just Northern Georgia. lol

[Stormhammer]

Admin - the Texaco off of L'ville Suwanee Rd and Taylor Rd has 93. Safe to say I filled up

[Stormhammer]

It's not even the Southeast, it's just Northern Georgia. lol

It's not even Northern GA, its just metro Atlanta.

[eViLMunkey]

It's not even the Southeast, it's just Northern Georgia. lol
Hmm.. I think I'll smuggle some fuel into GA then... Bwahaha :lmfao: :lmfao: 5 Gallon cans o' 93 for $50!!
