Thumbs up Best Gas

Just wondering if anyone would say waht is the best type of gas, Arco, Chevron, Mobil, 76, Shell. I put some Chevron Premium 91 last week and it looks like it went well with my car. So just wondering if you had any feed back.

Chevron or Mobil 91 seems to work good for me.

I always use Chevron Premium w/ Techron or 76 Premium w/ ProPower. I hear to many horror stories with Shell.

Don't use Shell. There's an additive that clogs fuel injectors and pings the poop out of pistons.

I fill up exclusively at "Roadkill Bill's Gas & Nachos"

He passionately mixes the gas himself and even puts bits of cinnamon in it.

76 only here. In fact I've only been to one 76 station for the past 7 months of ownership.

I use Arco and its been working good, But i used Chevron and it seems to make the car engine smooth. I used 76 and the chevron is the one that really made me notice, its just always a little higher.

Chevron has merged with Texaco..

Chevron/Texaco have recently been in the Business section. Saying they would not up thier offer for the Purchase of 76.
The other party biding for 76 is a China Oil Company ( A part of the Chinese Government )

But I do agree with you as I have not seen Texaco Gas with Techron..
