Favorite Brand of Gas

mkaaes · 08-22-2007, 02:21 AM

I'm just curious to see if everyone here is particular about the brand of gas they put in their car. Personally I like to use Shell or Cheveron and always avoid the AM/PM BP brands of gas. I'm not sure if it's clever marketing by the 2 companies, but I like em' anway.

I've been using Mobil for the last 3 years on my cars and everything is a-ok.

ZuerstBMW · 08-22-2007, 02:30 AM

I usually go to Mobil.

sams club

Zeiss · 08-22-2007, 02:35 AM

Chevron 94

kevinz · 08-22-2007, 02:35 AM

Shell V-Power =]

mkaaes · 08-22-2007, 02:37 AM

Sorry I should have updated it and asked why do you prefer the gas that you use

booforty · 08-22-2007, 02:38 AM

Tesco in the UK, 99 Octane

sinnet112 · 08-22-2007, 02:55 AM

I actually prefer BP gas over Hess or Exxon. Those are the only three in my area, sans Lukoil, which I won't go to. BP also definitely has the best business, with Hess in second and Exxon in a paltry third.

BP's 93 Octane just feels better when I drive compared to the other two, and they also have the best prices here.

koreez88 · 08-22-2007, 03:41 AM

Arco 91 octane, it's the cheapest gas around, still pricey

evoi19 · 08-22-2007, 03:46 AM

Shell/Chevron 91. The only reason is because it's the cheapest in my town and it's close to the freeway. And for some reason whenever i need to fill up, there's a shell/chevron really close.

HappyG · 08-22-2007, 03:46 AM

Chevron /w Techron.

Not sure why I prefer them, but I just do.

Leesi · 08-22-2007, 03:58 AM

used to Pertamax
now, Shell V-Power

Kuma · 08-22-2007, 09:26 AM

76 Station 91 Octane, basically its right near my work and its usually the cheapest. Was at $2.82/Gal for 91 this morning.

TheAcAvenger · 08-22-2007, 09:27 AM

Chevron's my favorite, but they're hard to find around here. So I go with shell.

E (90) nthusiast · 08-22-2007, 09:46 AM

Shell V-Power. Was Co-developed by Ferrari so it must be good.

eshtog · 08-22-2007, 09:47 AM

Chevron

Gort · 08-22-2007, 09:56 AM

Shell or Chevron...never Citgo. I refuse to put money in Hugo Chaves' pocket.

jetblk328i · 08-22-2007, 10:07 AM

Costco cause its cheap, and i do some shopping there, but since i only go there when i shop there,sunoco cause its closest.

Sniz · 08-22-2007, 10:10 AM

markis64 · 08-22-2007, 10:12 AM

E90SLAM · 08-22-2007, 10:36 AM
