Default Data Logs

Posted this to the FB page as well and got nothing, so ill try here.

Anyone of you non-e85 guys periodically run a data log to check fuel quality? Do you consider random logging to be regular maintenance after being tuned?
Not really interested in where you fill up unless you log to check, since it's irrelevant.
Myself and another member in the same area both have damn near identical logs showing crap knock. He sticks to the same station that showed great fuel quality when he was originally tuned, now crap. I myself have been a gas station whore trying to find a good one.

E85 varies so greatly from one station to the next. I hope it becomes more streamlined in the future.

I would like to try, but I don't drive my car enough to really do it.

I guess I could log some data in my truck though. LOL

He said non e-85 guys.

My cars no longer tuned so i don't have an ability to log, but being that i work in Coppell i occasionally fill up out here. I average roughly 20mpg typically. I do notice when i fill up at Market Street, 711 off sandy lake and denton tap and Chevron on beltline my mileage begins to drop on the same 17 mile commute under similar conditions within a few days. Oddly enough when i fill up again at my QT in Keller my mileage goes back up.

I should mention i use 93 when gassing up.

I realize this doesn't help much, but you're not the only one getting disadvantages of fueling up in Coppell, TX.

Not really any help, though very intriguing. I you ever stick to a few coppell fill ups and want to log to see how similar you are let me know, I'd be happy to ride co and log.

I will fill up out side of this area myself to see if there's any change. Thanks for input.
