The cheaper one. In the developed world, shop for fuel by price.

 

It's all just gasoline. As long as it's the right octane I don't think it matters.

 

I have heard that cheap HEB gas is not good for your car so there is some quality issue.

 

I was getting better gas mileage from HEB gas than I was from Valero. Chevron gave me the worst mileage of the bunch... its all a matter of when you fill up at a particular station, and how you drive afterwards. Fill up when its cheap, and don't drive like me and you should be good to go!

 

If there were any evidence I'd be the first to pick the best brand; I drive many miles each year and own four cars. However, I've seen no evidence, and have had no problems using absolutely ANY fuel that's convenient or cheap or whatever. I'll fill up anywhere in the US or EU without hesitating, and will continue to do so. No reason not to.

 

Shell

i buy vPower, it only costs an extra 4 bucks per tank, might as well go with the one with the best advertising and the "additives".

bingo.

 

I suppose that's one way of looking at it, and I certainly don't think you can go wrong buying fuel (after all, I believe just the opposite) but OTOH I can't help but wonder whether those extra $4 per fill up help pay for... extra advertising.

There's a Chevron station I know that is great to go to, because it's clean inside and out, the ice cream is always stocked fresh and they have those machines that grind coffee beans on the spot for each cup you buy. They also offer handy-wipes and funnels for fluids, and they're polite and cheerful. Great station.

 

I only use chevron, or ocassionally shell in a pinch, but nothing else. I used to use arco(bp station) and I noticed that my car was running rough, so I put chevron in the tank and instantly noticed the difference, and people I know have had similar experiences.

 

I swear my Z runs a bit better with chevron than it does with shell. Never tried valero but it does seem to be the cheapest in the area (well except for maybe rotten robby)

 

I'm happy as long as my tanks full oh yeah and its high octance :thumbup:

 

The only place around me I won't go is WaWa stations, because they sell 92 octane premium, compared to all the others who sell 93.

 

The one point wont hurt your car or performance. Many stations out west only offer 91 as the top premium. I was in Canada last week and had to fill up, 91 was the only stuff around. I filled up on that with my stage 2 93 octane map. Drove just as strong.
