Unfortuantly, here where I live in Wisconsin the premium is 91... But I live on the Wisconsin/Illinois border, so I can pick up 93 by driving maybe a mile.I usually get my gas from Roadranger or Flying J.

luckily I have an independent owned Citgo station down the road from my house. They sell 89 oct for the price of 87, 91 for the price of 89 etc. They keep all the way to 95 oct at the pump, and sell 100-110 by the gallons inside. So, I buy at citgo.

I no longer have to buy gas, my magical SR runs on hopes, dreams and sheer will. But before this discovery I used to put sunoco or lukeoil 93 in it.

I buy my gas from BP because their oil does not come from the middle east and as far as i know does not bring Bush any money. In fact they are one of the largest contributors to the democratic party. don't get me wrong, i am not democratic, but the enemy of your enemy is your friend.

i believe BP's gas is extremely expensive and contains ethanol.

I've discovered that we have a Mobil gas station here that offers 93 with 0% ethanol... It's on average $0.10 higher than the stuff I usually get from Illinois, but whatever.

Ethanol can be a good thing if the US wasn't run by Oil Companies. Brazil sells Ethanol at the pumps for half the price of gas and they only rely on 10 outsize sourse for fuel. They pretty much grow Sugar to make their fuel.

Also the Ethanol cars there on average have 3-5 more HP than Gas burning cars.
