I think holiday used like detergent with the gasoline or something like it, I know Kath's sells like race gas and its in st.paul somewhere.

 

Here is the link that I found a while back with all the stations in Minnesota that sell 100 octane race gas -

Also, for pete's sake...can someone tell me why Speedlab is going out of business? Or do I have to call Noah to find out?

 

Also,

Here is the link for the non-oxygenated fuel stations around the twin cities area from the Minnesota Street Rod Association. It's in .pdf format -

I am not all that hip on SuperAmerica or Holiday gas.

Most of the EVO owners I have spoke to recommend BP or Shell.

I ran Shell VPower 92 for about the first 8000 miles on my car and it ran nice and smooth. I decided to try a different diet of BP 92 octane and it seems to run a little more rough at times but the car seems to have a tad bit more ummmf to it.

I have heard the the # of detergents in relation to the coloring will tell you how pure and how well the gas will combust. Apparently Shell puts some awesome detergents in their fuels that make it a really good gas.

The verdict is not out yet on Shell or BP. I like both fuels and they have never caused an issue in my EVO.

 

I am surprised that they do not list Kwiktrip on there. Their 87 and 89 has ethanol but the 93 we can get here does not. They are also have the "top tier" certification and a guarantee against fuel related problems (although hard to prove that).

 

One of the guys on our team with the GTI his really good friends with Noah and got some work done there and he told us that Noah told him they're forced to shut down shop. Probably not enough business from the cars in this area.

 

What's the benefit of running this fuel? And is it just a normal pump or is it like a diesel pump or something? I heard you had to have an eligible vehicle in order to use this type of gas is this true? I'm pretty sure it won't do much for my car but I would still like to try just to see. Currently using Shell 92 and Mobile. Seems like I won't be using holiday anymore after see what you guys said about it.

 

I'm not sold on the Holiday gas being bad. However, they do claim it's "better for the environment". Better than what, DDT? Anyone have a link to gas specs for different companies? I've never thought much about it, but now that I have a race car.....

 

Well, I think the general concensus is to stay away from the Blue or Environment friendly gas from what I have heard. Apparently the quality of detergents is not as good as say a Shell or BP. Take that for what it's worth...

Apparently the stuff they add into the Blue Earth friendly gas doesn't combust or burn as well if I remember correctly.

I guess the question to ask would be to anyone out there that uses Holiday all the time in their EVO to chime up and let us know if they have ever had a problem with it or noticed a difference between it and say Shell or BP.

 

Noah should open another shop up somewhere else where he gets more exposure to people going in and out of the cities.

He's kinda tucked away and not too many people know about him.

If he'd open up a shop in St. Paul say on Rice St. (no pun intended) or somewhere with high visibility I think people would just come off the street to have the work done.

I am not trying to sound racist or insensitive, but it seems to me alot of the Asian community is pretty loyal to family and friends and when I have driven by a business owned by them I typically see Asian guys/gals getting their cars modified.

Most of the people that I have seen go in/out of Noah's shop have been white in general.

Maybe Ron can chime up on this...

 

It is true, a lots of Asians are loyal to friends and family. Asians were raised that way, so it seems that we tend to trust someone who is of our Race. If he probably did open a shop closer to the cities, business probably would be better.

 

hey guys,
where are the shell gas station located? are there any located in st.paul/ minnepolis? All i see is sa and holiday and a few conoco's and there's a mobil on maryland by phalen park. Thanks guys. Also, does any of you guys attends the U of M twin cities? have a good day.

 

There's one in Coon Rapids off 610 going east. That's the one I use because its on the way home from work.

 

There is one in Maplewood by the discount tire I think. My bro sometimes drives my car to U of M twin cities.

 

Are you crazy? My brothers never touch my car because they suck at life. Seems like they don't really care as much about my car as I do. It's like letting someone take your wife for a ride. LOL!
