What is the average mile per full tank are you guys getting? Is it worth it? Shell is about 1.89 per gallon in southern california. I been using 76 and getting about 250 miles per tank.

maybe your Tornado spins faster with Shell so you might get better gas mileage..hehehe....i dunno, i always use 92 octance 76 gas. I only got about 250 miles a tank on boost and rite now i only get about 130 miles a tank....some people get 300+ miles a tank! wish i could get that!

Shell, Chevron, Mobile, or 76 is what I go with, but I steer away from 76 at all costs. It's not unocal anymore, it's Tosco and I don't think their gas is as good as Unocal's.

Do any of you know if BJ's Wholesale Gas gas is any good. They sell 93 octane and it's usaully about .15 -.20 cents cheaper than all of the other local gas stations. Is there any way to find out what type of gas a station is selling? I doubt the kids at the register would know.
