I was wondering where everyone goes to get gas. I live in Minnesota so we don't have shell or anything like that. We do have SuperAmerica, Holiday, and Amoco. I was going to a generic gas station whose premium was 93.5 octane, and as it started to warm up, my car started to be sloooooow. I filled up at an SA (92 octane) as I was not near my usual gas station. About 2 days later my cars boost went from sustaining a quarter the way into the white to sustaining nearly two thirds. My car started to be noticibly faster. I did g-tech my car with the generic gas and the best 0-60 I could get was 8.58, with SA it brought it down to 7.14. Also has anyone had a bad experience performance wise with any certain brand of gas.

Just wondering,
