I have always wondered which gas stations carry the best gas. I realize that most of the gas comes from the same refineries and the companies just add their own additives. One day, here in California, I spoke with the owner of a Unocal station regarding the 91 octane premium (Highest Octane available in CA). I noticed that it stated "Minimum rating of at least 91". I asked if the octane was higher at times than the 91. He said yes. He informed me that the octane is tested on occasion and it was at 93 on the last test. That was good info as I have a modified GTP that has a hard time on just the 91 by itself.
So my questions: Is there a listing of octane tests at local gas stations that can be accessible to the public?
What effect do the additives (Techron and V-Power) have on the octane rating? I realize they are a cleaning agent but once you add chemicals it can alter other aspects of the mix.
