Vote on the best gas company in the states. I use BP.

 

No offense, but surely you cannot possibly conclude that one major chain of gas in America is different, better or produces a noticable difference in either performance or mechanical longevity within an engine. 87 is 87 is 87...regardless of the "benifical addatives" certain gasoline retailors claim to use.

 

the higher the octane the better, theres this place by my house that sells higher ocatane at the same price...its sum 7-11....

 

Um, this thread sucks.

 

:werd: :stupid:

 

I just heard ppl raving about techron and chevron, but I always thought as long as its a reputable chain than its good gas. I guess my thoughts were on the right track.

Oh and by the way does europe have higher octane? When I was in poland I believe the regular gas was 95 and the premium was in the 98 range. I would think that octane is octane but who knows maybe there is a different scale in europe or they just run around on race gas LOL

 

yes the US uses a different method for rating. their 98~our 93.

i use mobil and sunoco most of the time and sometimes shell.

 

QT....aka...QuickTrip

Guaranteed Gasoline and big parking lots and always busy and a big store selection.

u are very right, if anyone has seen that special that aired i think on discovery channel. All gas chains get their gas from the SAME pipeline and then just add their "additives". So essentially its all the same in a sense, some with BS like chevron's techron, etc.

I choose QT(QuickTrip, here in the south east, not sure if its anywhere else in the USA)because it has big parking lots, always open, always busy, and a good selection of product in the store. So its not the gas really, its the covienence of whats "there" when i get the gas.

but the additives can make a difference. my friend used to have 99 Z28 camaro which he put a chip in. after that he had to run mobil 93 or sunoco 94, cause it pinged on everything else. also i used generic 93 one time and got check engine light after a few miles. i stick with name brand name gas for premium fuel, but for a car that uses 87 you are fine with almost any brand.
