Which gas??

Which gas do you guys think is better to clean out the fuel system?? the Shell V-Power of Chevron with Techron, also which gas would give better mileage? Because shell v-power claims it has 5 times more than the minimum government standards, couldn't find anything on Chevron with Techron.

I used Chevron and i got around 240 miles, I filled up with Shell and right now at the rate its going it seems like it is giving me better mileage, im at 110 and i only used about 1/4 of the way.

I usually fill up at hess, as it's convient for me. I've been using techron in the bottle in my cars for years. When I first bought my old vw, I swear I felt an improvement in the hp after putting a bottle in. I usually throw a bottle in every year. Does it help ?? I don't know, but it makes me feel better

NiteQwill uses V-Power, just with him on filling his gas, he gets about 350 a tank. V-Power feels makes the car feel better.

It's still my opinion gas is gas. No difference except the octane rating. One brands 93 should not be better then anyone else's 93. There are many factors in gas milage. One brands gas should not give any gains in MPG. Heck the wind could be blowing more or less & that will have a bigger impact on MPG.

In town I get about 250-275 a tank no matter what brand of gas.
On straight HW trips I get 325-350 also no matter what gas I use.

Now days I buy whatever the cheapest 93 I can find is.
