What kind of Gas do you use?

This may have been asked before but i'm curious.

I've been using budget getty 93 gas for about a year. Yesterday I was on E and could only find a shell station, but man what a difference in response. I guess i'm now switching to shell.

Shell 93 all the way. Used to only goto Phillips 66, but started having some stumbling issues. Shell cleared it up.

Holiday 93 octane most of the time. Large chain in the midwest. Super America 93 also. Sometimes BP.

Usually cumberland farms lol, but maybe I should change that..shell is just rediculously expensive here and I refuse to pay that much.. Maybe I should start going to sonoco or somewhere else

Sunoco if I'm out on the road but Costco when one's near by. Costco's usually 12 to 17 cent cheaper per gallon and 93 octane.

Well I use Shell or Chevron but mostly Shell 91 because in CA we don't have higher than 91 octane and we have a different blend of gas for the summer than the winter. I have used other gas brands in the past but I can definitely feel the performance difference ever since I switched.

I looked at the toptiergas.com retailers and USA is on the list and from my experience at least in CA. their gas is on par with some of the worst gas I've used. I don't know if I would trust that list totally.

Alcohol (xylene or toluene), VP Race gas from 76 gas station, or regular petro from Chevron. In order from most used to least.

on Top Teir gas only. Never ran anything else.

I prefer Chevron but usually get Shell cause I go to this Shell station near my work that's about 15 cents cheaper then the Chevron station near my house. Also use 76 once in a while cause I pass by a station I know that's also cheap in that area.

Shell gasoline runs in blood! Even two separate locations gave me some pretty cool Shell tee shirts (2 blue and 2 yellow) because I see them so much. Lol.

8 year Shell veteran over here. Only cheated twice...

However, if Shell were nonexistent, Exxon/Mobil would be my next choice. I hear good things about Techron (based closely off of Shells formula).

Shell all the way!! It may have just cost me $4.04/Gallon, but the engine seems to have more power. I'm sticking w/ Shell.
