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!

I only use Chevron for the Boxster. Every other car gets Costco gas.

I usually use Chevron because of the addition of the Techron. Other than that any top brand should be OK. I still follow the old adage of using a station that is has a high gas turn-over and staying away from stations that are being supplied when you are getting gas.

What does "high gas turnover" refer to?
