What gas are you loyal to?

Just curious if you always put the same brand gas in your car? I put Chevron w/ Techron Premium in my car for a long time, but the gas station near my house closed. Now, I try to use Amoco/BP whenever I can.

What brand of gas do you put in your car?

I use Sunoco, in Canada it's the only gas company that offers 94 octane, that is the only gas I put in my car.

Mind me asking how much a gallon (or litre) the 94 octane costs? For 91octane down here, it's about $1.65USD.

94 octane is about 50cents USD. a liter, but the prices of gas here changes every 2 or 3 days, with a 10cents difference

You mean Mobil! Mobil 1 is oil

Anyway, i use Sunoco 94 when its around.. but unfortunately they don't have Sunoco stations in NC. I use Shell mostly.. Shell has some dank fuel in Europe, i think its called Optimax or something like that. They seem to have the most R&D effort in technology so i go with them.. that and they sponsor F1

I've heard Citgo is the most consistant with octane-truth though...

And Chevron is good every once in a while for your fuel system. Techron is good shit.

Esso aka Exxon. Has a higher density than most fuels out there, was recomended to me by a guy a VP race fuels for consistancy in octain as well as fuel purity. Chevron is crap. They use methanol to reach their claimed octane levels plus their fuel contains twice as much oxygen (in ppm) than the next fuel.
