Not sure if the specifics of Shell vs Chevron have been addressed in these forums but I was using Chevron in my 98 Boxster only because of convenience, Chevron is on my route home from work.

I filled my car up with Shell about a month ago over the weekend and didn't have to fill up for about 2 1/2 weeks of driving back and fourth to work. My commute is only 8 -10 miles one way, depending on traffic I take back roads when the freeway traffic is heavy.

I filled up with Chevron on the next go around and my gas only lasted about 8 business days before I needed to fill up again. I kept the my Boxster parked on weekends to test my theory - now I need to zero out my travel mileage next time I fill up to confirm.

Anyways - just wanted to share my experience as I am still a fairly new Boxster owner.
