Where do you fill up?

[Denali0229]

Just curious where you guys fill up and if you favor any gas over others. I generally go to Chevron, Shell or Mobil/Exxon. I stay away from Racetrac and Wal-Mart no matter how cheap their gas is.

Also, does Techron and the new Shell Nitrogen gas make any difference? I just assumed it was some marketing ploy but I'm interested to know if there is any truth to it.

I'm military so when I gas up on base it feels sluggish and not vey responsive. I use strictly Shell whenever I can and both vehicles run really smooth.

Usually I fill up at a gas station

I believe in the Top Tier fuels so much that that is the only stuff I fill up with. I actually had a Camaro many years ago that wouldn't run unless I filed it with Chevron. Keep in mind that GM loves Chevron so much that they have it trucked in to Michigan from Kentucky for their cars. Also, GM has a TSB about recommending Top Tier fuels. Chevron and Shell were on the list. BP, Walmart/Sam's, etc were not.

I generally go to sunoco. My mechanic said its a better quality gas and should be from american soil....I've always stayed away from walmart type gas, lowest quality gas you can get from what I understand.

You guys know that most gas stations in every region are supplied by the same distributor with only minute differences in additives right?

3. My gas isn t better for your car; it s just more expensive.

Oil companies spend lots of money explaining why their gas is better than the competition s. Chevron s gas, for example, is fortified with Techron, and Amoco Ultimate is supposed to save the planet along with your engine. But today more than ever, one gallon of gas is as good as the next.

True, additives help to clean your engine, but what the companies don t tell you is that all gas has them. Since 1994 the government has required that detergents be added to all gasoline to help prevent fuel injectors from clogging. State and local regulators keep a close watch to make sure those standards are met; a 2005 study indicated that Florida inspectors checked 45,000 samples to ensure the state s gas supply was up to *****, and 99 percent of the time it was. There s little difference between brand-name gas and any other, says AAA spokesperson Geoff Sundstrom.

What s more, your local Chevron station may sell gas refined by Shell or Exxon Mobil. Suppliers share pipelines, so they all use the same fuel. And the difference between the most expensive brand-name gas and the lowliest gallon of no-brand fuel? Often just a quart of detergent added to an 8,000-gallon tanker truck.

I always go to Quiktrip. If that's not available I stop at Shell stations. Either way I fill up with Premium gas
