Is the mid-grade 89 octane SHELL fuel a mix of 93 & 87 or a stand alone grade? Ed
SHELL GAS?

Mix.
Around here it's blended.
It's either blended at the pump OR it's blended at the loading facility as it's loaded in the tanker. Either way...it's blended using regular and premium.
Had a private station owner tell me some years ago that 89 contained 10% premium, rest 87 octane. Whether this is true or not I have no idea.

Above it says, "Your getting what you paid for"
And pay you do at Shell....at least in my neck of the woods.
And then Valero (big pipeline/refining company?) revamped and reopened stations and decided to meet and even exceed Shell's pricing.
It felt good to see them close or drop their prices.

I asked because most vehicles I know of either require 91 or 87 and seldom 89. If 89 is a stand alone then maybe it is not used enough to get the seasonal change. PS Kira: my off the main street SHELL has the same price as the non-name stations. Ed
I'm still curious at the accuracy of 93 octane.

I have found this as well. Shell always seems to have the highest priced gas around. This regardless of location. I just moved to Lake Havasu City. And I found a local station, "Maverik" (spelling is correct), that has been there for years to have the lowest priced fuel. I paid $3.09 for Premium. Which was substantially cheaper than the $3.29 Shell wanted across town.
It was much the same in the Phoenix area. When ever I check prices on "Gas Buddy", Shell and Chevron are always the highest priced.

The states regulate and routinely test for this sort of thing. The individual stations themselves make pennies per gallon on the sale of gasoline and hefty fines would almost surely ruin them. Not to mention that delivery company can get into trouble as well. Overall the juice isn't worth the squeeze but I understand you do live in Florida so...

I hope this station owner doesn't do the accounting/books for this business as well 'cause his math ain't right.

The Shell near me have terrible gas so I stay away. The Shell in Haverhill was notorious for pumping swamp water. The Shell 20 miles away in Derry, NH had been pretty decent when I lived near there in the late 80's.
I think there is some real funny business in the fuel industry around here.
I see many odd hour unmarked truck deliveries.

So is 89 SHELL mixed at the station or at the pumping station or are we just guessing? Ed
