 Amoco Premium.   It's all gas.

Sean - fyi,
My brother worked for Amoco here in IL.  One of the meetings he attended was
in regards to how one assures the "quality" of an octane rating of 93
(claimed of Amoco premium here in Illinois), and how that compares to other
manufacturers of petrol.  Since all grades are transported in the same tanks
(trucks/rail/boat) eventually (so dilution occurs), what is the average
octane rating AT the pump.  Interesting to note, at that time, Amoco was
averaging in the upper 89.x true octane rating.  At the time of the meeting,
Shell was over 91.x for their SU2000.  Here's to hoping the big oval changed
their slacker ways.
