Or it could be that that particular bp station has something wrong. I do think that Shell or Cheveron have provided the best MPG for me. Too each his own.

dont waste your time with octane boosters, they only raise your octane like half a point, and the money you spend on a bottle is the money you could use towards getting 93

Today when trying to find Advance Auto Parts I found Shell V-Power for $1.95!!! It's like 10 min away, but better than paying $2.15. Them pennies add up fast lol.

Oh today I changed my starter and got 3 different codes lol. Then randomly the CEL was on while driving so I erased that and so far nothing came back. Drove around for 30 min. So far so good. I think it was just a glitch or something. Damn weird.

Yea, but they want to tax the gas around here now. Bastards!! Gas prices have been going up a penny or so every other day though.
