What kind of gas do you use most?
 

I mostly use chevron but when times are tough and I'm low on cash I'll use anything as long as my car can burn it :naughtyd:

you forgot the best AMACO(sp?) the have the best gas

they all get there gas from the same damn place :rolleyes:

Gas is Gas is Gas is Gas who cares, jsut go to the place that has it for the least!!!

hope you dont think your right...

iono but i like 76 for sum reason

exxon.. because its close to my apt and they have a pretty big grocery-type store and they sell camel lights pretty cheap :)

Hess :D

how arent i right??? the only differance is the octane levels otherwise its all the same

all i have to say is one word .......... ha!

there is a big difference...you get what you pay for. they are NOT all the same.

I agree...I mean you can't even compare a arco to a lets just say 76....The quality is totally different...Arco is like watered down gas..Car feels like garbage if you fill up with that stuff.

the highest octaine you can afford at that particular time. the high oct smells um um good

no SUNOCO 94??? whats up

citco 93......

Amaco/BP uses more ethenal...i use sunoco or shell

91 with power 104 octaine booster from 76 :)

chevron and 76 mostly

If its cheap ill buy it. LoL.

if im short on ends... i go for rotten robbies..woot

whatever's cheapest. makes no sense to me to put high octane if i'm only putting around town. 87 works fine and dandy. i only use 91 on the bike because it usually costs about 6 to 8 bucks to fill it up.

I usaly go to this ghetto station that has 2 pumps that are like 30 yrs old. They don't even say what brand of gas it is, maybe Tesoro? Anyway it is usally the cheepest gas around $1.89 for 87. I have had bad experiences with Shell gas.
Hey Shell I got something in my pocket for you...wait...oh here it is :fawk2:

76 all the way.

Shell 91 w/ V-power
Chevron 91 with Techron

I hit up BJ's cause I don't have a real car yet, and my piece of shit Probe doesn't really matter. 87 Octane = $1.82

105 octane from 76!!! woOOOO

Shell 87 usually.

all about 76 (ethanol alcohol based verses most places with their shitty MTBE). Individual lab tests showed that 76 is the most stable gas out there compared to the others. Gas mileage however wasn't the best (Shell got best) but with that, Shell also got the most unstable rating. It's all an investment, i go with 76.

Chevron 91 every time no matter how broke I am. And I am. About $2.25 a gal.
Except this one time I was hanging out w/ downshift180 I put some no name shit in there and burned through it like it was water. :rl:

mostly 76 and shell with octane 91! i like 76 dunno why!

they sell 93 out here in nyc but im N/A so why bother. so 87 for me at exxon/mobil/ammoco whichever one is closer.

I use sunoco 94, or shell 93 if there isn't a sunoco around.

To all who say, its not all the same, cheap gas will kill your car, and any other claims that are similar... I have a bit to share with you.

i use gas from a gas station run by quickie food... it was Amoco for a long time, then was sold and is now called "Petro Power" its the cheapest gas in town.... before they changed over i asked who was buying out the store and what kind of gas would be sold.... to my surprise, chevron.... i couldn't believe it... the next day when i came by guys in chevron uniforms were scraping off the Amoco labels on the pumps and replacing them with "Petro Power" and if you catch the trucks filling up the pumps, sure enough.... Chevron trucks....

I use 76 also, and agree about the ethanol statement earlier. For those of you that don't know, if you run ethanol under boost it cools. So the air is more dense which means better kaboom and a faster airflow and the alcohol burns hotter. I wish there was a gas station that runs a higher percentage! (cause the amount in 76 gas is really very little haha!)

In mom's Kia, it's the cheapest 87 octane I can find, but rest assured when the coupe is finished I will be going out of my way to an Aamoco or Mobil station for their 93 octane... I'm going to cry to be back paying $1.95/Gallon again

I figure its gas, im gonna pay it anyway, why get the cheap shit? Overall i would save, probably 200 bucks in a entire year by using cheap 87 octane. So i just make sure i cut back on wendy's and put nothin but aamoco 93 in er ;)

I always run Shell....When I can't run Shell its BP or Exxon.

For my SOHC, i get Valero or 76 as often as i can, and always 89 octane. For my SR i get 100 octane from the pump @ 76 (4.30/gallon)or whichever racetrack i go to(5.50/gallon) and sometimes 91 when there's no racegas around(2.20/gallon)

Highest we have in Cali is 91, so thats what I buy.

And I always get Shell.

Cus I like the fishie.

Petro Canada 94 Octane @ $1.34/L CAD

Is valero good?! hahaha

people always ask me why the fuck i criticize about using cheapo gas places. Alright... yes they use the same pipeline to transport their gas, and sometimes the gas that say 76 takes out on one side was actually the gas that Shell put in on the other side. It's all the same... UNTIL they put in their additives. That's what matters. I love the History Channel

yup, it's ALL about the additives. One of those additives won't allow the gas to freeze or helps at least (that's the only additive I know of, there are plenty more though).

I use chevron because the colors! And the cute lil cartoon drawings! Makes me think my car is happy =]

wheres sunoco?? i run the 93 or 94 depending on prices... sunoco is usually really good, but the 94 is like $3.25 a gallon :(

what the hell is a '76'?

76 is a gas station.

Only one i know that had a 76 antenna ball for cars haha.

This post was made back in 1/05. Now (7/06) it's $3.35/gal. Unreal

damn right its unreal. I even remember that night driftyour40 was talking about. Wish gas was only 2.25..

That's nothing.. Look what Philip wrote..(below)

That's where i want gas to be... I remember when it was 1.60 for cheap and 1.85 for premium back in 03

Looks like the average is that it goes up a dollar a year since Bush has been around.. That's insane !

where the hell are you guys getting gas for under $2? Jesus Christ it was $2.70 some odd for 87 octane in NC before I deployed. :(

before swap i take mid-grade from either shell, chevron or 76
after swap always shell V-power, maybe chevron techron once in a while, car got addicted to shell, if i use anything else, some shit is gonna happen.

i know its expensive... :(

I run 93 from BP

I run the cheapest stuff I can find, 87 because I'm a cheap bastard. My Z runs fine because I haven't up'ed the compression.

I use 89 on autocross days.

usually use chevron 93 :) sometimes i have to use the discount zone gas, $3.30 a gallon...... :(

I run base 93 (at least thats what thepump says) 3 yimes a month. Once a months I use offbase "High Oku" which caost me about 70 bucks to fill my tank...

hmm, gas is gas is gas, is not really true. but some of the major gas brands do share gas, but like the posters said there are additives.
i try to stay with 76 since they offer race gas i figure their gas is probably good. but i live in cali so 91 is the best i get.

If you have turbo or high compression N/A'S like more than 9:1

You NEED to run mid - high octane gas. In a nut shell. the octane rating is how much the gas can be compressed before it spontaniously ignites.

I had a 3000gt N/A with a 10:1 comp stock. if i ran anything less than 91 it was bad for the engine because it would occasionaly combust before the piston reached TDC.

If your driving a sports car, RUN higher octane gas just to be safe. it will extend your engine life and performance.

I look at it like this. Say 93 is 20-30 cents more than 87 ike it is here. that means every 10 gallons, your paying 2-3 dollars more. so thats about 4-6 dollars more per filllup. its REALLY not a big deal if you love your car and love to drive

if you live near boating areas, the river etc. you can get very high octane from the pump, I purchased 110 from the pump a while back, the best part, we only purchased 3~ gallons, but becouse of some error and the pump was old, it kept the fuel flowing, full tank 110 octane 8~ bucks, priceless :)

Dude... Get A Grip Of That Stuff And And Sling It On The Side.. I'd Buy A Barrell !!

yahh hahaha i remmber theplace hahaha :hammer:

Chevron, occasionally Costco
87 octane

something bout the 76 ethanol recipe makes the turbo spool quicker, or so it sounds

my choice is Mobile 91 Octane,Ive always stick with 1 brand and 1 grade of gas for my s13,daily drive or tuning for track.

i use the 93 octane from 76 :)

I run half tank of 76 or chevron 91 of course and fill the rest up with sunoco 112

i use petro-canada gas 91 octane

my parents own 2 petros so i know what is in the gas!

mr 240sx what do you say about cheveron 93? thats all i use, well spur/discount zone sometimes :(

$3/gal right now... yes!!!!

Hess 93 octane.

Pre-mix
 

Motul 2 stroke oil and 91 octane On my rx7 ,But on my 240sx i use what ever it can burn because its just a ka

Nothing but 87 Arco on my 240 and it runs just fine. I've used other types of gas but haven't noticed any differences. So I use what's cheapest. NOt like my car is boosted or high comp right now or anything. No detonation at all and I get 23-25 mpg.

Only 93 octane Exxon or Mobil sometimes.

so far mobil1

i'm convinced

I never really believed that the additives and detergents in higher priced gas were worth the "hype", but this article in Car&Driver changed my mind.

If you think about why auto manufacturers would create this TopTier designation it starts to make sense. It's not some shady deal with the big oil companies to promote their gas, it's to reduce expensive warranty claims on engines and fuel systems that get messed up by lower quality gas.

In the end all gas basically burns the same (because its pretty much all going through the same pipelines to get here) and will produce the same power, unless you just get a bad tank that is contaminated by moisture or something.

But from now on I'm going to put a couple extra bucks in my tank so my expensive injectors don't get clogged with deposits. :rolleyes:

1. 76
2. Cheveron
3. Shell

Anything else I wouldn't bother to try cuz my mechanic already tried em all for me.

When I'm feeling the need I'll put some 108 octane from the local 76 station off Sepulveda and Manchester near LAX airport. I don't drive too much so the 8.75 a gallon doesn't hurt so bad.

I'm good for atleast 91 octane from Hess.

FL prices suck: 93 oct. $2.41 today....87 oct. $2.29. Where's the 1.89 like I saw in GA last week?

Stop whining.. 2.45 for regular here 2.60's for premie =P.. 100 oct. 6.25 - 6.35

dang cali yall are gettin ripped! i payed 2.11 today for 93 at my tom thumb. i usually go to quicktrip for gas because it runs the same as cheveron. shell gas is about 10cents higher in DFW. and i havnt seen a 76 in so long, i dont think there in texas anymore....

In some respects you are right.....but there are details that make this statement a little untrue.
Yes, and gas station no matter the brand, Shell, BP, Citgo...etc.... can and does purchase gas from several different suppliers including each other as well as from themself. This gas all comes from the same tanks as regular, midgrade, and premium. Here comes the difference and what makes one better than the other. Shell, BP, Citgo, and mom and pops store...etc.. all have different brlend recipes for "their" additives. The additives are what makes the gas better. Additives help with lubricity (since we don't use lead anymore, yes lead was a lubricant), the cleaning of injectors, and each "brand" of gas has different levels of sediment and suspended solids (what ends up in the bottom of your gas tank.
So, all the mom and pop places get the generic additives and the big oil companys use their recipes that are engineered to make theri brand better or worse then others. Shell V-Power is among the best fuel that can be purchased at the consumer level.... they spend a lot of money developing a good product, Exon/Mobil would be second to Shell.
So when you are deciding who's product to put in your car, know that like everything else in life, you are getting what you pay for.
Also, if you live in an area that has ethanol mandated, all gas has the same amount no matter the station....remember the whole thing about it all comes from the same place........

** Disclaimer, I don't work for either of these companies...***

you may not drive much but that high octane stuff will evaporate very quickly if not used.....

$3.93 here for regular.
$4.13 for Premium

I'm glad I just bought an EG8.. Still cost 40 bucks to fill up. But at least I get 33 MPG city :wiggle:

i use 76, if there isnt a 76 in sight and i get desperate, ill settle for chevron.

Chevron gasoline is used by several foreign and domestic manufacturers to pass EPA emmissions test and to set the mpg benchmarks.

Do you get a discounted rate if you have a membership there?

sunoco all day

shell, used it to clean out my engine, started getting more mpg, and passed smog with it, no joke lol, i used chevron like 4 times,and every time the car (stock 95 240sx) felt weird and loss of power sluggish, also use mobile, car feels like it has more power on mobile, but if i dont have the funds, anything that will burn haha
