Hey,

I just watched a special on the news that said some gas stations serve better 91 octane than others, based on the type of detergents they use. Better detergents give better performance and burn cleaner. Is this true, and how would you ever know what gas station to go to? Anyone know the companies that serve the best gas for our beasts? Post up the best gas you know of in your area...

 

Rumor says that 76 has the better gas in Southern California. Don't know about Denver.

 

Well there aren't any QT's in denver sorry, our top tier gas is the best imo

 

Interesting. We don't have many 76's in Denver anymore. They were more prevalent ten years ago, but slowly disappeared.

 

sunoco for me

 

i go with shell cuz some friends of ours in europe that own a gas station told us that shell and bp have the best gas cuz they don't water it down or something

 

i like shell...i try to used that every time.......

 

BP is known as Arco in the US, or at least in SoCal. They're usually the cheapest gas station around.

A while back an acquaintence at Technosquare ran Shell, Chevron and Mobil through his AE86, which had nearly 12:1 compression and 302 cams. He saw detonation on Shell and Mobil, so he sticks with Chevron. No word on 76 though I hear they're good.

My buddies and I generally stick to Shell and Chevron.

 

BP and SHELL for the east coast has best 93 so far. I had 25k on my evo and when i changed my fuel pump my tank and filter was sprakling clean.

 

krazirob,

correct me if I'm wrong, isnt BP the same as Aamoco? It seems like they are both co-branded

 

yep they are both the same thing. in omaha they all changed & started using the BP name.

 

They started doing that across the country. There is no such thing as Amoco anymore.

 

bp is all i use.. in my Evo and in my old car and never had a problem...

 

what ever happen to texaco? it dissapeared where i live.. what about you guys?

 

BP , Sunoco, Shell(but not in daytona beach FL they mess with it there), Mobile
