just wanna hear what the majority of people pump for their CL's...

 

chevron supreme

 

whoever's selling cheap 93, as long the station's moving a lot of it so it hasn't been standing too long.

I'll even let the tank of 93 empty out to just above halfway and top it off w/89, it yields an octane in the tank >91, which hasn't affected performance (but I drive like a puss these days anyway -- cops, tranny worries, gas prices...).

 

My local Shell station is almost finished with their renovations. I've had the best luck with their gas. (Car likes it for HP -- and, yes, it's my opinion)

I got a load of Mobil 91 that wasn't exactly "premium."

The Chevron seems ok... I do like to stop by there and get a tank and grab a bottle of Techron gas additive every 6-months or so…

 

Shell, but that's just my preference. Any major will do the trick. Stay away from the el Cheapo gas, you need the good detergent additives for long lasting performance with the fuel injection.

Yeah, the majors are more expensive. Remember what Vanderbilt said back around the turn of the 19th century when someone asked him what it cost to maintain his yacht. "If you have to ask, you can't afford it."

 

There's a man who knows his gasoline.

 

93 amaco ultimate clear gas.... just cause i've always thought it was the best around, probably just good marketing. They were the first to offer 93 in my area but that was a long time ago. Been using them since

 

Don't care. Whatever the cheapest 93 I can find.

 

Always Quicktrip 93 octane. Here in Atlanta, Quicktrip has got guaranteed gasoline, I think if you have trouble with your car that attributed to the gasoline, then they repair it for you, something along those lines, I forget.

 

You can buy Amoco Ultimate but it is no longer clear. After BP purchased Amoco they phased out the more expensive clear gasoline and replaced it with fungible premium gasoline that all others use.

 

Sunoco, 93 octane, 94 when I get paid...

 

i only fill up at Exxon

sidemarker

 

He is a huffer!

 

BP

 

93 Amoco Ultimate normally, but tried Citgo premium recently for about a month since it's the cheapest you can get in Miami right now, but it made the car feel sluggish. At first I thought it might be that I needed an oil change, but that didn't work, so I let the car run down close to empty and started using Amoco again and everything seems fine. Maybe it was just in my head, but I'm not using Citgo anymore. I noticed a cheap Chevron station by my house yesterday (I think 2.149 for premium) so I will probably try that out the next couple weeks.

 

76

 

Sunoco 94 Ultra.

 

My options are Crown and Texaco. (Crown is regional; mid-atlantic to SE.)

I take the Texaco, car seems to run better.

 

I put in Arco 87! That is the shit of gas. Ha ha, just kidding. Since I am in the bay area, we don't have 93 Octane, the highest around here is 91. I usually put in Chevron 91 or Shell 91, on a good day I will make a run down to a 76 that has 100 octane and just fill about 1/4 to 1/2 tank.

 

1. chevron sumpreme
2. union 76

If i can't find a chevron and i'm running really low i'll fill up with 76, but i always use chevron surpreme

 

Same here!!!

 

whenever I leave the area and head towards Texas, I always look for the Chevron dealers once I get into Kentucky, and again once I get into Arkansas and Texas. Chevron was the gas I had in the tank when I established my un-official A-CL record holding tankful of 569 miles!!!!!

 

crystal clear amoco ultimate

 

Chevron Supreme for me too

 

usually Shell 91, but now I found a 76 station that's as cheap as Arco's around here, so I hit that up. Sometimes I'll get Chevron too.

 

I did use shell gas until i read about this in S Florida.


South Florida drivers seek class-action suit against Shell, refiner over high-sulfur gas

Gas gauges still failing after fill-ups, drivers say

Some people are still reporting gas gauge problems more than two weeks after Shell Oil Co.'s refiner, Motiva Enterprises, said it removed all of the tainted gasoline from hundreds of gas stations in Florida.

Two drivers in Broward County told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel their gas gauges stopped working after they purchased gas in the past few days.

Shell initially stated that it "removed and replaced all gas [from affected Shell and Texaco stations] by June 2, and put in new processes to ensure that this doesn't happen again."

But on Wednesday, the company issued a clarification, noting that in some cases the tainted gas was not removed and that fresh gas was added to the stations' storage tanks and sold to customers.

"Apparently in cases where underground storage tanks were less than full of affected gasoline with elemental sulfur, fresh, tested product was added to the existing gasoline to produce a blend that would not interact with fuel gauges," said Shell spokeswoman Karyn Leonardi-Cattolica.

Shell officials say any problems being reported by drivers now are from gasoline purchased before June 2 and not from the blended gasoline.

But Trey Chizmar of Oakland Park said his gas gauge failed after he filled his 2003 Lexus ES300 on Tuesday with regular gas at a Shell station in Coconut Creek.

"Normally I don't look at gas prices because it's something I have to purchase. I usually go wherever is most convenient," Chizmar said. "After this I won't be pulling into a Shell station."

Lauderdale Lakes City Commissioner David Shomers said he noticed this week that his gas gauge on his 1992 Jeep Wrangler was stuck on full after filling up with regular gas on June 6 at a Mobil station in Tamarac.

"I've had the Jeep for four years, so I know its idiosyncrasies," Shomers said. "The needle on the gauge isn't even moving. It's just pegged completely over to the full side."

Shomers last bought gas for his Jeep on May 13 at an Amoco station in Oakland Park. That was at least two weeks before problems with the tainted gas were first reported in South Florida.

Meanwhile, attorneys for motorists with broken gas gauges amended their lawsuit Thursday against Shell and Motiva, alleging the companies didn't remove the old, tainted gas and diluted it with new gas and sold the mixture to customers.

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Fort Lauderdale, seeks class-action status to cover anyone damaged by the gas sold in Florida.

Eric Hamilton, chief of the state's Bureau of Petroleum Inspection, suggested the fuel gauge problem "will probably take a while to show up in all the [affected] cars." Damage to gauges may take longer to detect in some cars that have a lower volume of tainted gas, he said.

Shell said it was still investigating the cause of the original problem at the Motiva refinery in Norco, La., which supplied the contaminated gas to South Florida.

 

how in the world can you tell a difference in the GAS brand if you do not do a controlled measurerments.... ?

 

i always use amoco

 

If using shitty gas, the car feels sluggish. If using decent gas, the car feels peppy.

Not as noticeable, but similar to the difference between cold air and hot air when it comes to the CLS.

Maybe its all a mind game.

 

 

Octane 91 of 76 for all three cars in my family.
