You care to elaborate on that sir?

After Jeffcat put me onto the problem with my BS V twin mower engine, I decided to try some premium at his suggestion, and some NGK
spark plugs. Gas prices for the 3 grades (87, 89, and 93) were the basic price for 87, 40 cents more for 89 and 20 more cents to move on
up to 93.

I buy from a large, family owned grocery store chain who are real picky about their business and fuel is part of that. I feel that I don't get
shorted on the quality of the different grades.

So, at $2.12 for 87 and a whopping $2.72 for 93 one would surely think that there is more to it than price gouging the "uppeties". I realize
that gas comes from different sources and is delivered to different customers. Requirements for the contents could be and probably are
from A to Z as long as the published octane rating are achieved and if containing alcohol, it's also mentioned on the pump.

On performance, the small engines do show improved starting and ability to power through loads better with the 93. The Silverado either
didn't care what was in the tank or 25 gallons wasn't long enough of a test for the computer to make up it's mind. My every day MPG didn't
change so it was back to 87 for it.

Just wondering what makes 93 that much more special. Got any fact based, concrete numbers on what?

Thanks,
Mark
