BP and Amoco gas is your best bet. All other companies actually buy gas from both of them and reformulate them.

So if you don't buy gas from BP or Amoco, you're getting left over stuff that's been sitting around for a while.

Like Racetrack, Quick trip, etc.

A kid here at my college did dyno testing of all the local gas all premium and the shell was the best, but this was before all this V-Power crap...why would I want V-power I have an Inline!

My dad owns some gas stations and says the V-power is just a marketing strategy to get people to buy premium. Just my .02

V-Power is just another premium 93 octane...all it is is a marketing gimmick. BP/Amoco (same gas, just BP bought Amoco) is my favorite premium gas...

Holy crap, shell is the only place I ever go. I figured gas is gas. I'll have to try some others, but the highest grade here is 91. Of course I'm sure everyone has heard about how much california gas sucks.

i still only get shell gas if I can...they have still proved to be the best for MPG and since I don't mod heavy enough to worry about knock yet I don't feel much difference when say the few times I have used Sunoco 94 that Shell is the best IMHO.
