Shell at Madison Square sells 93 octane


Recommended Posts

Yes, it's true, the Shell at Madison Square across from Polo park has 93 octane fuel and I think it's important to support this so they keep carrying it. I fuel up all my vehicles with it even though only the Camaro benefits from the high octane.

Is it actually 93 though? Do they still have 91 as well?

Curious if the same tanker trucks that make the rounds to stations with 91 just drop by there as well, or if they have a one-off truck that delivers 93.

Not sure how the logistics would make sense for only a single station (or two) to have 93.

I could have predicted your skeptical response. They have 93 on only 2 pumps, the rest have 91

The Shell on Sterling Lyon by Rec Room also now has 93.

I dyno tested the Camaro with Shell 91 and got up to 4 degrees of Knock Retard from 3600 rpm all the way to 7000 rpm then went back with Shell 93 and running the exact same tune, I got less than .5 degrees blip of Knock Retard at 4600 rpm. On a side note, I then added some Boostane (purchased from Phil at www.fasttoys.net) and was able to add 6 degrees of timing without getting any Knock Retard, so that stuff really works at increasing octane levels.

Good question. I'm not sure.
