I usually get gas from mobile or exon. I always put 93 octane on my TL-S. What other gas stations are reliable? My friends usually get their gas from bp or shell.

 

Shell or Chevron w/ Techron

BTW, Mobil IS Exxon - same company.

Anyways, I also usually get Chevron as well. I see that Quiktrip is on that list of top tier gasoline retailers but there was a report I saw recently in the news that had a list of gas stations in DFW that are being investigated for charging more $ than the amount of gas that they are really spitting out (like instead of paying $4 for a gallon they would charge $4 but only give you .95 gallons). Regardless, I only go to Quiktrip to air up my tires for free and for beer.

Here is the easy way- Does it SOUND like a real gasoline company??
Shell Chevron Mobil

Duddlies Dairy and Gas is NOT going to be on the Tier 1 level quality brands~

 

But damn their milkshakes are good!

 

V-power all the way !!!!

 

Around here is either BP or Mobil.

 

same here..i only put Shell and Mobil

 

Shell or Exxon/Mobil

 

we have Super America and Holiday here, use both with no issues and I average about 26mpg in mixed

 

Wonder why BP wasn't on that list of top tier?

 

I use chevron 93 octane. Its the only gas station in town that doesnt use ethanol in the gas. About 3 cents more per gallon but better power/gas mileage

 

here in so cal 76 all the way. It has been dyno tested by TT and Vishnu large tuners in cal to put down the most power. Rumor has it that 91 76 is closer to 92. just my 02.

 

I've only put Shell V-power in mine. Chevron is really good too.

 

Around here these days, it's the one that's open .

 

What is special about vpower from shell?
How many octane is it?
I went to shell once.. and I had the option for only regular or vpower. The pump displayed no information or distinction between the two.

I just go get 94 octane from petro canada.. soon 94 from sunoco

 

why do people say shell gas is the best for our cars? i just started puttin shell gas and its liek the same as bp.

 

The problem with the question posed by this thread is that it assumes that all stations of a given brand are of equal quality, which often isn't the case. Just because the Amoco station in Somerset, PA, watered down their gas in March 1991 (they did; we got stuck in town after using that gas on the way home from a ski trip) didn't mean that all Amoco stations sold watered-down gas. Likewise, just because the Amoco stations near where I lived at the time were fine didn't mean that all Amoco stations' gas was OK.

With that said, I generally use whatever name brand is most convenient to where I am if it is not outrageously expensive. I tend to use Sunoco and Shell the most because (1) there's a Sunoco near the GF's place that I pass all the time (I buy 91 octane there instead of 93 because it's 2¢ a gallon cheaper and the car seems to run the same) and (2) there's a Shell I pass most days on the way to the office that's on the correct side of the street. When I drive to Charlottesville for football games, I always stop at the Sheetz station in Wilderness because it tends to be 20¢ a gallon cheaper than the gas in Northern Virginia and I know the gas is fine.

I seldom use BP, even though there is one near my house and another perhaps 10 minutes away, because those two stations are considerably more expensive than the aforementioned Sunoco and Shell.

I tend to choose where to stop based more on (1) how badly I need gas, (2) whether the brand is a known brand (as opposed to a one-off I've never heard of), and (3) how the station looks (e.g., are there crappy-looking cars all over the property? If so, I won't stop there unless I have no choice. Is there no roof over the pumps such that I have to stand out in the rain? Same thing.). Of course sometimes you get stuck—in July I had to stop in the rain at a run-down looking Irving station with no roof over the pumps and that sold only regular-grade gas, but I had no choice because I was running super-low and it was the only gas station within at least 30 km.

Basically, I say trust your gut instinct when you look at a gas station.

 

gas prices are high, but sometimes the drive to the brand of choice, just defeats the purpose in the long run, I mean I use shell v-power because I get better gas mileage than sunoco, but I am not gonna drive 5min out of the way for shell if sunoco is infront of me

 

is the ticket. Best throttle response.

I only get Exxon or Mobil if I'm almost out of gas and there's no alternative. With $11+ billion per quarter profits, I figure they already have enough money without mine. Exxon gas seems to be typically priced higher than any other brand anyway.

 

I was driving and saw a mobil gas station with cheap gas price. While i was pumping 93 octane in to my car, i noticed they posted a sign saying "10% ethanol". Then i got all suspicious. Are mobile/exon supposed to have 10% ethanol in their gas? I'm thinking of switching over to Bp.

 

i got to the Philips by my house if I can since I have a company gas card and they don't have no ethernol. Doubt they have Philips in your part of the country.

 

+1 to the tier1gas website. Can't go wrong with most of the companies listed there.

 

Stupid federal mandate. You'll find that almost everywhere. Don't bother going to another station over something like this because it won't make any difference.

 

the 10% ethanol is at almost every gas station around here cept the one across from the acura dealership, which happens to be chevron.
