What brand of gas do you guys run...?

[fduve]

I've always used Amoco 93 with great results. Has anyone tried the new Shell with Nitrogen? What is the Nitrogen supposed to do?

 

[hand-to-ball]

Here in Orlando i try to run strictly Mobil 93, though i've used 7-11/Citgo in cases of emergency and have never noticed a difference. Does anybody else fret over running different brands or is it whatevers cheapest? I'm running a tried and true 2.2 KB making a conservative 16lbs of boost.

Any brand of 93 is fine. Anyone paying more for premium brands is wasting money and more important misinformed. There are only a handful of gas producers and they supply nearly all of the gas stations in America.

But I do love how companies like Mobil and Sunoco have some of you guys fooled into thinking their gas is better...it's exactly what they want you to think. That's what happens when you have multi-million dollar advertising budgets, where as Citgo or Valero don't.

Shell here but in a pinch BP 93 will work too.

i agree with alot of that, with the exception of the special additives some market. i'd hope that stuff really makes it in there if thats what they're marketing.

what is even more disturbing is the fact a previously trusted station location (regardless of company) can change suppliers and you unsuspectingly fill up with something less than 93 octane :dw: the choices the local/regional supplier is making are the culprit here, not necessarily the brand

 

[RAPTOR5V]

Shell, Hess, Mobil, any big name 93 octane and especially Sunoco but no more 94 in NY.. 23* here so always 93

never 7 eleven or mom and pop

 

[Tarball]

93 from Shell or Sunoco only.

 

[SVT03Chris]

same way in my town here in Oklahoma. One place used to carry 93 but now they have 88 89 90 91.

Oklahoma 91 Octane FTL. :nonono:

 

[Smacked_in_ATL]

I usually fill up at QT, Chevron, or BP.

 

[03Cobrra]

Sunoco or mobil only.

 

[Jroc]

It all comes from the same tap at the refinery...the only difference is the additives they put in when they load the tanker trucks.

x2.

In the south it all runs through the same pipeline, and I'm pretty that each part of the country follows a similar method. Why do you think gas skyrockets around here when we get a hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico. :idea:

 

[KILRSVT]

chevron 91 religously.

 

[totenkopf13]

93 from SAMS Club all the time unless traveling w/ < than a 1/4 tank.

 

[Blk04Snake]

Sunoco or Mobil 93. Alot of the Mobil's are the 10% ethanol now though so I tend to try to get to Sunoco.

 

[oldmodman]

76 Union 91 Octane. It's the highest octane that we can get in California.

Unless you buy the 100 octane race gas at the pump. But it's still 8.49 a gallon.

 

[The Sync]

Top Tier Gasoline

Any of those. But mainly Shell and Chevron because thats the majority of what is around my house and work.

 

[T-Pain808]

Chevon mostly, they are the main refinery, here. Everyone else buys from them. 92 with 10% ethanol.

 

[Lloyd Xmas]

Valero 93 octane @ 2.15/gallon

 

[antiv6]

mostly QT sometimes bp

 

[Ralo]

I can't find a locally station without ethanol now.

 

[Jefe]

Chevron 91 every time

Why the crap does everyone on the east coast get to buy 93 octane? Why did the west coast get screwed? I dont know of any place in my city to buy higher than 91(besides 1 station that sells 100 octane) and theres over 1 million people here...
