:justkidding: I always use 87 and have never had an issue after 13600 miles.
Is this pic correct? Do you Yanks still use leaded in your tank?

I always wondered. A fueling station has 1 hole in the ground which a truck fuels the station. So how does the fuel get separated coming out?
Unless your engine is pinging there is no good reason to use a higher grade gas than the mfgr recommends.

93 octane in every vehicle I own.....I want even put 87 octane in my lawnmower.
I run 87 and always have
Can someone teach me how to notice/identify when there is pinging/knocking??? I've been hearing about it since I was a kid but can't say I've ever actually witnessed it.
Actually you are close to the truth, Mulder would be proud.
There is one fuel delivered to the stations, octane is added at the pump as an additive or as part of an additive mixture. Sometimes this mixture contains detergents as well. But the base fuel you get is the same for all grades*.
*per station, Shell is still Shell, Mobile is still Mobile. Manufactures still produce their own blends for the 'lowest' grade and then add octane at the pump.
This is not correct. There are three tanks for gasoline. It is not blended at the pump. It is seprated at the refinery (different boilpoints and pull off temps) blended at the tanker fill station (additives are added at this time as well) shipped to the station and dropped into tanks.
