What Brand of Gas do you use?
What Brand of Gas do you use?
I'm weird about my gas. I ran Amaco for awhile, but it seems the quility, least in my area has went down hill. I've been using Shell for a little over a month and it feels like I've got a 3rd more power then I did when I ran Amaco. It might sound strange, but its truth! What gas do you use?
Chevron Premium 91 with Techron.....I can't get 93 octane here in SO CAL
the only other gases that I would touch are....Mobil/Exxon or Texacco....since Taxaco and Chevron are the same company

Chevron 89 or 92 octane. We don't get Amoco in British Columbia, but I have filled up across the line recently with Amoco 92 and found nothing wrong with it. A recent fill up across the line with Chevron 89 resulted in crappy performance. Canadian gasoline has more additives than US gas and we can get away with a lower octane as a result.
93 of whatever's cheapest. I will pay $.01 for a gas like chevron (cause of its techron) over a no-name, but that's it.
Interestingly the one mobil station I'm aware of has awesome prices.
If I didn't have, in the mail, a card that gives 5% cash back on all gas purchases, I would get a shell gas card, because it offers 5% back on Shell. This will make that quality gas the cheapest you can buy.

BP or Shell, blending octanes
I use BP or Shell, whichever is convenient when I need to add fuel. As for the octane range, I alternate refills between 89 and 93, with the idea that the mixing of the two will result in an octane rating of approximately 91. I don't know if this reasoning is sound or not, and if someone has some insight regarding my logic it would be great to read some comments.
Why BP?

3. The people who run a particular BP near my residence are really friendly and I want to give them my business.
Do you have a car-related reason for using BP all the time?
I only get gas that doesn't buy from the Middle East ie. Sunoco, Hess, Citgo, but being gas is SO expensive now, I'll get any no-name 93 or higher, but still won't go to BP/Exxon, Mobil/Shell, Texaco, etc. I'm still guilty of my Mobil1 oil, but that's only once every 8-10k miles or so. So that's ok.
Amoco & Chevron used to be industry leaders w/ detergent additives (MTBE) several years back, presently all the companies share the technology so they're pretty much the same. I'm looking for that discounted Iraqi gas... does anyone know where it is???

Only Top Tier gas for me also. In my case it's Shell 93, because of convenience.
