SHELL or MOBIL

can everyone reading this just write one line and tell me

1. Which is better Shell or mObil?

I did read the article on premium vs regular gas, but I was wondering what the majority of people use for our maximas.


thank u !!

you are asking two questions..shell or mobil.. it doesn't really matter..premium or regular? This is what the Factory Service Manual says.. interpret it how you wish..

I've tried shell & I don't like the performance I get from it. Amoco is OK, but what really works for me is Mobil, I notice a huge benefit from performance just by using Mobil.

I mainly use 76 but sometimes Ill use chevron. Shell isnt that good according to many car dealers and My mom uses mobil on her benz cause thats what the dealer told her to do. I still like 76 and have had no problems.

Indiana has Exxon, Illinois has Mobil, go figure. The Exxon in IA is better the the Mobil in IL. I use to put only BP in the car. Then one day Exxon was 12 cent cheaper. I dipped right pass BP. Not that I've put Exxon in the car, I'm knocking down 500 miles always around the city of Chicago.

I'm sold on Exxon and that fuel injector stuff that really does what it says.
