Brand of gasoline

[Brucelee]

I use only Chevron. Great gas.

I used to use off-brands and had to use fuel cleaner on a regular basis.

I would stick to a Tier 1 gas if I were you.

Thanks guys.



So Sunoco-Canada is top tier but not Sunoco in the U.S.?




Unfortunately for us Yankees, NONE OF THOSE gas stations exist here aside from Shell, but there is a list of companies on there that may provide gas to other big chains so I am going to google them and see who they're associated with.





EDIT: On the Chevron site, it says they own Texaco also. So Texaco would be a top tier gas, eh?

A few years ago, I only used Valero gas. Then Shell put on that commercial saying you get better mileage out of it, so on a road trip out to Phoenix, I tested it.

I started with a tank of Valero. Then I filled up with Shell.

I got about 30 miles more out of a tank of Shell than Valero. Then Shell sent me a gas credit card, so I've used Shell ever since.

I should get a Shell card. Do you get a discount on the gas, too?

Discount? Nope. But I got the card when I was doing field service, I think... which made it easy to track exactly how much I spent on gas.

I typically use Shell or BP. For some reason in my mind they have better gas.

For the Boxster, I try to get Mobil, BP or Shell. During the TOD trip, I used a lot of Chevron, and liked the fact that you get the Techron additive with the 93 octane.

For my wife's MB I do the about the same as above.

For the Company Explorer XLT...it gets what ever is convenient.

Overall, I go to stations that are very busy and "turn" their fuel over quickly. I think this is actually more important than actual brand. Fresh fuel...just like milk and bread!
