We don't have Chevron here. I pump Mobil normally and use a bottle of Techron with every oil change.

just make sure that there arent any other variables in your driving...

this one bish that i know drove from milwaukee(southeast wi) to Lacrosse WI (west WI) and back to milwaukee because she had to drop off a bunch of stuff from her parents house. two days later, she then claimed that the gas is better over in lacrosse because she got better milage on the way back to milwaukee. i eplained to her two things:
-she had less weight on the way back
-there was a 20mph wind blowing from west to east that day
... and she still believed that they have better gas in lacrosse. some people are so dumb, that it makes me mad
