Top tier gases make everything run better.
Sometimes the cheap way out isn't really going to save you in the long run.

For me its 76 and Chev.
I don't touch shell cause my car started knocking when I was playing with the Dist. And it wasn't a bad batch cause I tried I again about a month after and same thing. And if you look online A LOT of ART and EVO guys say the same about Shell gas. They knock like crazy.

I noticed this myself that certain stations in my area cause my car to hiccup.

*how old/miles on your injectors. It wouldn't hurt to have them cleaned
- KA24DE = 14.8
- KA24DE-T25 (7psi) = 13.1
- KA24DE-T28 (12psi) = 12.9 (traction issues)
- KA24DE-T HE351 (20psi) = ??.??
- 2JZ HX40 (18psi) = LOL

~Set Up~
