What's the best gas you've used?
 
Seriously.

I've been using Texaco for as long as i remember and never ran into a problem. However i ran out of gas once and ended up having to put Chevron and the car seemed to have performed better.

What do you guys use and what are your experiences with it?

I'm thinking of changing brands after feeling the effect of Chevron.

Thanks. :)

i don't watch brands.. i watch Octane

soundmike Oct 30, 2001 09:00 AM

Well of course. :)

I only use Premium (91 - 93 octane) but after trying out Chevron and Texaco i did notice more power with Chevron. It's more of a "feel" than conclusive evidence so i may be just imagining it.

I ran 93 Chevron at the strip and noticed better performance than the Texaco I put in later.

Nothing but Mobil Premium.

Mobil super - Drive your engine clean.

AMOCO GOLD - Car runs like a raped ape on that $hit.

Chevron W/ Techron
 
Techron, WTF is that anyways?

Empz Oct 30, 2001 10:20 AM

Always been Using Sunoco Ultra 94!

Mustang1999 Oct 30, 2001 10:23 AM

I use Mobil, only because I'm lazy and can use a Speedpass... 87 octane for me!! :D

2DMax Oct 30, 2001 10:39 AM

Mobil for me.....

AdMax98 Oct 30, 2001 10:46 AM

Chevron 92.
Doesnt it say somewhere in the manual to not use gas with certain additives?
Just wondering if anyone remembers reading that.
I think it was something to do with oxygen enriched gas...

ToYLeT902 Oct 30, 2001 10:59 AM

mobil.

y2KAOSMax Oct 30, 2001 11:02 AM

HESS 93, but I think I'm going to try Texaco next..

Sarah99GXE Oct 30, 2001 11:25 AM

Chevron 91 (highest Octane we have here :slant: )

carnal_c30 Oct 30, 2001 11:29 AM

I use Chevron and love it's performance. I've heard Union76 is really good too but its the most expensive here, so I've stuck with Chevron. :D

Taco Bell. Oh, used?:rolleyes:

NJ_MAX2000 Oct 30, 2001 07:23 PM

You guys are missing out (I feel like I am too!).

Sunoco makes a 94 octane "Ultra" grade gasoline.

T H I S S T U F F R O C K S ! ! !

OMG, BIG DIFFERENCE!

Too bad all the Sunoco's are sutting down around here, I love that gas though...If you get a chance to try it, do it, you'll be hooked.

97GreenMax Oct 30, 2001 07:45 PM

I always use one of the two, either Chevron or Exxon.

JUDE Oct 30, 2001 07:50 PM

Usually go to Amoco.

Asian_N02 Oct 30, 2001 08:03 PM

i use Texaco 93...works like a charm...i think they put those winter additives in it, and now my exhaust smells...

inertia777 Oct 31, 2001 02:59 AM

Best Gas
 
Shell 93 octane, burns best in my car.

lp Oct 31, 2001 03:32 AM

Over here, any of the 98 octane premiums. But prefer Mobil.
