We have 87, 89, 91 and only Chevron has the 94.

Never buy the lower grades but I think 87 is $0.30/L less.

Walmart just dropped to $2.87
not sure if that means anything

Does your car call for 94? What does it say it needs in the book ??

My Germans both like 91 minimum.

My Germans both like 91 minimum.

Going above what they call for doesn't help.

 

[outofyourmind]

Yeah
I always thought for sure it did, until I watched an episode of 'Engine Master' where they did this exact thing.

On the dyno, it showed that once the engine gets the octane it needs, anything above that is useless. nothing.

I always thought different until a couple of months ago.

Likely doesn't hurt either.

Just the pocketbook.

It says minimum 91. Not 91.

With me it's smiles per gallon anyway.

Both my Germans give me smiles in spades.

Doesn't make paying extra for nothing make any sense.

 

[Hank Kingsley]

Doesn't make paying extra for nothing make any sense.

But it isn't nothing, 91 is the minimum acceptible. 94 is better.

The other thing is 94 is 100% gas, no ethanol. Less energy from alcohol equivalent volume.

Which gas to use on Mercedes-Benz? Regular or Premium​

All Mercedes-Benz gasoline cars require Premium Unleaded Gas. At a minimum, you should use premium 91 octane gasoline or higher."


"At a minimum" tells me they have no idea what they are talking about.

Everything but 94 has ethanol.

That's OK because I'm not asking you for permission.
