what brand of gas do you use?

tjnptel1 · 07-06-2007, 03:42 PM

Are you biased/prefer a particular brand of gas?

I use Shell V-Power. I have had no complaints about their gas quality so far but obviously my FP gave out.

nhhiep · 07-06-2007, 03:43 PM

Shell V power only , I get 5% rebate.

pittyinSC · 07-06-2007, 03:49 PM

Shell and Chevron

Revlis · 07-06-2007, 04:04 PM

Shell V-Power but I thought I was the only one...

I did some reading, and FWIW figured alright I'll try Shell and it does "Seem" to have the car running a little smoother/better... I dunno... But I like it.

E92_335 · 07-06-2007, 04:05 PM

76 and Chevron... If you are in So.Cal, the 76 on Oxnard is the CHEAPEST gas of all. It is very high quality!

scottp999 · 07-06-2007, 04:05 PM

Shell Vpower - 93 octane. That's the only thing I have ever put in it.

toolfan · 07-06-2007, 04:09 PM

BP only, 93 octance.

ejazbmw · 07-06-2007, 04:36 PM

shell v-power although its not a must for me i don't mind using another brand if i don't feel like dishing out the extra cash for shell.....

shragon · 07-06-2007, 04:44 PM

only the best, rotten robbie.

007e92 · 07-06-2007, 04:49 PM

76 always

Javier · 07-06-2007, 04:52 PM

which ever takes AMEX, mostly exxon. but there are a bunch of no name gas stations here in PR so sometimes those.

Driver72 · 07-06-2007, 06:24 PM

Shell
76
Chevron

Best 3 in my area.

Avoid Mobil and Exxon. Not Top Tier rated and they make WAY too much money as it is.

gerbs · 07-06-2007, 06:25 PM

Shell 93 octane, always.

Revlis · 07-06-2007, 06:31 PM

Anyone have any sound reasoning behind using Shell V-Power?

mehdi E90 · 07-06-2007, 06:42 PM

Conoco
Chevron/Texaco

RKP-M6 · 07-06-2007, 06:44 PM

costco bitches.

Babe · 07-06-2007, 06:58 PM

Shell V-Power 93 every other half tank. then shell mid grade in between.

Shell (and chevron like many others mentioned) is a teir one gas. Most are not, including Mobil.

Bimmer335i · 07-06-2007, 07:09 PM

whoever the cheapest...at this point.

Professor///M · 07-06-2007, 07:13 PM

Top Tier gas only... for anyone that knows what that means.

so locally, Shell 100% of the time

Tobizach · 07-06-2007, 07:16 PM

Strictly Chevron here

danimal · 07-06-2007, 07:34 PM

Chevron or Shell (occasionally 76). Bottom line: top-tier only.
