My father works for Kroger at Cincinnati Head quarters and has informed me that they outsource their fuel from Shell. The only difference between fuels from i.e.: Chevron, Shell, Texaco, Mobil, Kroger, WalMart/Sams Club etc... are the additives that are added. But the octane is the same.

There are too many variables in dynoing a car, running it's fuel nearly dry and adding a different brand and redynoing.

Edit... And a 15-20whp lost is, honestly, just not believable.
Thanks for the reply. Figured it was un-true, but ya never know.
