Are you all filling up with a different brand of gas?

I seriously find a noticeable difference if I use crappy gas. I only use Sunoco or Shell.

i have noticed the exact same thing, i get the same octane gas from the same gas station every single time, it seems to have more pick up. not racing it up at all... not spinning before or after, i RARELY ever spin my tires, trieng to make whats left last til i can put the rims on. so more traction, better fuel/octane, non of that would do it for me, but it seems to have a bit more pep on a full tank. no doubt. its noticeable.

I always use BP 93 octane and I only go to 2 different BP gas stations.
