What kind of gas do you use most? - Page 6 - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

tac 1 · 07-23-2011, 07:33 PM

76 or chevron. my dad used to own one of them small independent gas station that they call "cheap" gas. Yes the price was always cheaper than the big companies but what people didnt know was these companies sometimes would sneak up in the middle of night and buy gas from my dad then sell it for higher price. Lmao!

wude2 · 07-24-2011, 12:14 PM

I normally use Shell, since there's so many in my area

chwks13 · 07-25-2011, 10:45 AM

Chevron

Or Petro-Canada :P

Tulok · 07-31-2011, 06:01 PM

I only use Shell. I am a driver for work and Shell consistently gives ~17.8 Mpg, it's scary how consistent it is.
alternatively, chevron gives 16.3-16.8 every time. haha!

ST(I)mpreza · 01-05-2012, 04:54 AM

I usually run Sunoco, only cause its by my house and usually cheapest...

ONYX S-13 · 01-11-2012, 10:47 PM

I've been using AM/PM religiously for the last 2 months because it's literally like 2 blocks away and it's dirt cheap (well not dirt cheap but usually 20 cents cheaper than everyone else).

I really don't care because it's just my wife's 98 SOHC Saturn

.

Pinggg · 01-11-2012, 11:15 PM

I use E-85. !? where do i vote lol.

[email protected] · 01-19-2012, 07:58 AM

The closest gas station when I'm on "E"

xshodaimex · 02-06-2012, 08:46 PM

Shell is always close to me, besides its nicely lit, compared to the 76 which is also pretty close, but I just hate how you always get asked by the same crackheads for some change, and then complain about how much change I give them.. So for me 76 if the sun is still up, and Shell when the sun is down. =]

pearlwhite ka-t · 02-08-2012, 03:49 PM

Here in Arizona I only fill up at QuikTrip (QT) gas stations. Their gas has a "Top Tier" rating which exceeds the United States Environmental Protection Agency's standards for gasoline additives. They also offer a money-back guarantee

Oh and their 91 octane is always cheaper than Shell, Chevron, Texaco etc

Akito86 · 02-22-2012, 08:39 PM

A mix of Chevron or shell But lately 91 from Costco :3

slydin240sx · 02-22-2012, 10:32 PM

I usually use the local Shell station. Could also be cause of the cutie that works there.

Squarebush · 04-25-2012, 11:35 AM

I use Mobil 93 every fill up. I've had problems with my tune running other brand gas.

soryu · 04-25-2012, 05:42 PM

everything except arco and off brand.
all octane 87 89 91 i mix them
anyone ever run 100 on a stock KA?

Highway Riding · 04-25-2012, 06:55 PM

shell v power 93

PandahZ650 · 04-25-2012, 11:14 PM

i use 91 chevron most of the time. wish CA had 93 oct
i use 91 shell if i'm in desperate need of gas and there isnt a chevron close

i've tried others as well, used arco burnt through it really fast and never went back

Kuma · 05-01-2012, 01:35 AM

91 octane 100% gas... none of that ethanol shit.

Nicelyphe · 05-01-2012, 07:41 AM

Sunoco 93 octane, sadly EVERY gas station around here says 10% ethanol on the pumps.

Robby90 · 01-30-2013, 04:36 AM

shell, 76, and Sam's club 91

ONYX S-13 · 01-30-2013, 11:37 AM

The AM/PM that I used to live turned into a 76 and have so far kept the AM/PM prices..

NNNIIICCCEEEEE

Unfortunately the prices of fuel have been on the rise for a while now..

It's now $3.79 for regular 87 =/

JadedNazgul · 01-31-2013, 02:40 PM

I'm not driving my S14 right now but when I did I used chevron or mobil. Since times are tough I would put 89 octane but with a fuel system cleaner.

I completely agree on arco being shit.

mr.nismo. · 01-31-2013, 03:04 PM

i used shell one time, when i bought my car and had to get gas to drive it home. burned through a tank in 150 miles and was pissed. chevron all the way. all 91

ONYX S-13 · 01-31-2013, 05:12 PM

That's insanely Low mileage! =O

mr.nismo. · 02-01-2013, 12:16 PM

yeah thats why i use chevron now lol. 260 miles cruisin in city and i let it use about 12 gallons average

ONYX S-13 · 02-01-2013, 03:32 PM

That's still low mileage.

What do you have done to your car? I would think a modified 4 cylinder would at least be getting 18 especially when you're just cruising.

mr.nismo. · 02-01-2013, 03:55 PM

ohh no i shouldve used different words lol im not cruising i was beating on that bitch lol it was a kae

shiftdrift · 02-01-2013, 04:05 PM

100% argon from airgas.

lewisfk · 02-01-2013, 04:35 PM

Shell 91 octane and up. Is there a reason why gas is 4.12 a gallon for supreme and 3.90 for,regular in SOCAL at the momment?

Juantwo3 · 02-01-2013, 05:04 PM
