Me too, I've got a $300 gas card for BP that a client gave me, I really hope I don't lose it before it's done--or something crazy happens like it expires. Those dang cards have a way of getting lost, I just finished a Exxon Mobil one yesterday that's over 4 mos. old.

Always use 93, seem to get good gas mileage long as Im not puttering around some town Im working in.

Used Mobil exclusively but their stations are disappearing and becoming LUKOIL, I've since switched to Sunoco 93 but the last couple tanks I've also started using Shell 93, I go back and forth between the 2 now.

And getting lower!!!

$2.79 Sunoco 93 around where I work.



Down to $2.77 Sunoco 93


Down to $2.51 Sunoco!!! 93

When I 1st got my car in mid June'06 it cost me between $50-$55 to fill it up from empty 93 Sunoco. Today I filled up from empty and it was $38.00 Sunoco 93. That's a $17 difference!!! I'm loving it!!! Keep dropping!!!

Got Mobil 93 for 2.39 the other day. I hope this is not just a trend and the prices decide to stay down.

I usually use Supreme gas here in Montreal... i think it's 91 octane... does it really make your car run better though?

It lets your car run at its best under all circumstances. The only exception is if you're a really light driver and spend all of your time on highways. If that's the case, lower octane would be just fine. Otherwise, Supreme is best.

I always used to run sunoco ultra 94 until it was discontinued. Now it is 93 from sunoco or mobile. I like using the speed pass.
