Envious of you Jersey fellows...



I am paying around $3.60 for premium at the local Shell.



In Long Island (Nassau) I can get it for $3.45 at an Exxon.



But now I think I'll only stick to Shell...

I know. It is just one of the MANY benefits of living in Jersey.

It is sometimes annoying that this state is full service only, however, I cannot complain about the prices!

I am convinced that the NJ road system is a part of the Communist conspiracy. It is absolutely rediculous.

Chevron or Shell. I ONLY use Chevron because it has Techtron in it which is suposed to help keep your engine clean. Shell gas has something very similar. Another version of the same type of additive. Either one of those gas companies would be a good choice.

I only use 93 Chevron or Shell. When I lived in CA mostly Chevron, now that I'm back in NY mostly Shell. In CA the highest Octane for both brands was 91. The compression ratios for these engines demand the higher octane. In my Yukon I run Shell 89 even though it can run on 87.
