Default Which Gas Feels Best for Performance?

Im just wonder what others though of this. I tried 76 and it feels good, but the gas mileage just sucked (about 200 miles). On Chevron, i ran about 250 miles. Anyone else?

In all honesty when it comes to performance there should be little to no difference between manufactures. They're all 91 octane and to see a performance issue you would need to be detonating. Our engines are tuned very conservatively to be anti-detonation so it is unlikely that you will be detonating.

Now when it comes to engine cleaning additives and burning cleanly I happend to use Chevron. There is a reason that every automotive company uses Chevron when it comes time to run emmissions tests.

I use Jet A mix with 91 octane. I think the ratio is 5 to 1

I drive into the hood to fill up because it's cheaper.
