hey everyone, i always pump gas at sams club here in northern CA. the last few weeks ive been getting almost 40 less miles per tank.. anyone else noticing any differences??

 

no 2 gas station is going to be the same anywhere.
its like asking "the fries at mcdonalds that u got today are soggy and if anyone elses fries today around the country are soggy."
the simple answer NO.

how you drive affects mpg, where you drove, how many stop lights and how much freeway as oppose to the last fill up. NO ONE drives the exact same every fill up.

go fill up the car somewhere else and see if the problem persists, its funny that its happened for a few weeks and yet you still go fill up there.

common sense is to go somewhere else if u notice a weird change. easiest thing to do to check

 

i didn't ask for a smart *** answer. obviously i know nobody drives the same.
i know how i drive and i was filling it up to see if it was the weather outside or if it was the gas.
I filled up at chevron this last week so im waiting to see.

Just wanted to see if anyone else who uses sams club noticed a difference, i know im not the only evo owner in the world to use it.

but thanks captain obvious.

 

have you done anything to your evo? change parts? anything? losing 40miles a tank is a lot

 

it is alot, so im switching to shell gas is just dam expensive here. but i havent touched it at all.. i put 2 tanks in, first one i didnt really think anything of it but last week i was like ok this isnt a coincidence so ill see how the shell goes.

 

FYI, I would choose 76/Chevron for gas. That gas is proven to get less counts of knock then any other gas.

 

Could be gas, could be plugs, maybe Coil pack, 02 sensor. I don't have an Evo (yet) but I'm sure they have these parts

 

do not put Sam's gas in any performance car.

stick with Shell,BP,Amaco,76,etc.top tier gas brands.

fwiw i hear costco gas is just as bad as sams.

 

^^^^^ what he said, dont use Sams gas go with Shell, Exxon, or atleast Chevron.

 

I use Shell, Chevron, and 76 only. I always have the same mpg. No differences. Never filled up with Sam's, Costco, or ARCO, so i can't report on those.

 

well thanks for the info guys, i LOVE shell i can honestly tell the difference so far, ill be changing the plugs soon. i had honestly never ever had a problem with the SAMS gas before but im gunna see how this tank turns up... 40 miles less was shocking to say the least but i figured the windy week we had here had something to do with it but not to that extent.

just wanted to see if anyone else was having problems.
