Crap gas? Quick poll.

I stick to these gasolines whenever I can.

I always buy the highest octane fuel available.

Let me rephrase:

Does anyone here think that discount, independent, gas is inferior?

Why?

[Brucelee]

Yes, they are. I personally have had issues with Costco gas and as I suggested, stick with toptier gas. The additives do seem to make a difference in keeping your fuel system cleaner.

Shell VPower! Only other option I'll put in is Exxon. 93 is the highest octane I've found in San Antonio. I can definitely feel a difference between a "Shell" tank of gas and say a "Valero" 93-octane. Sounds weird being the same octane, but something just feels different.

The Techron has proven results as well.

I've found the same thing, but your lucky at $5, were at £1.35 ($2.09) per liter...!!

I get around 16mpg on standard fuel but 22mpg on higher octane

Like another poster said, Shell VPower, thing runs like a thoroughbred after filling her up with that stuff.

When it comes to gas, there's no point in looking to save pennies on the dollar, it's an unnecessary headache.

I buy cheap-ass 89 octane. No issues, but I'm not a hot-rod driver. Also, I'll never start the car unless it will get fully warmed up. I save the adrenaline for 2 wheels.
