Try a real dyno and then you will see that you are mistaken.

What is this book that the internet stranger on post 61 claims to have read with claims recalling claims of horsepower differences between different claims of different brands of gasoline?

It's the internet, proof gets lost in space.

My butt dyno says that the 102octane vpower vs the 95 normal here in sweden gives 0 difference. There has been alot of discussions on this subject and almost everyone agrees that its the same unless you modify the engine to specificly run on 102 at which point you could see some gain.

I run Shell or Exxon 93 octane and I cant tell any differences. There are also a few non ethanol stations around the area, and I cant tell a difference with them either.

Some minds are more prone to influence the butts more than others. They are more susceptible to Jedi mind tricks

V Power is definitely better. Not sure what I was thinking.

I figured it would be the same gas, but I must say I've noticed a decisive difference in power on the butt dyno. It is so significant, I'm almost wanting to dyno both and see the difference. The Techron gased car feels smoother and stronger at the top end without question.

The first time, I figured it was psychological and went back to Shell the next few times because it was closer. Seemed to be a power drop.

I have gone back and forth and concluded I definitely notice the drop off when I go back to V-Power.

Anyone notice something like this? I know, another gas thread.

Any TopTierGas FTW That's what the owners manual asks for and it also says the same thing for a bunch of other car manufacturer's rides too. I personally like the Costco gas Price AND Quality. Us East coaster's don't get Chevron stations... but we do get 93 octane gas everywhere
