I have heard this mentioned before, but did a search and got nothing.

I understand that some gas stations are "better" than others. I have often heard Shell being very good with gas. Any input on the other major chains? Exxon, Luk, Texaco, Sunoco, etc?

 

I go to shell for that v-power!

And I thought Sunoco sometimes had race gas from what I've heard.

 

There was a Sunoco up the street from me that had race gas, but they went out of business about 3 years ago

i'd always heard about that list of stations, but could never find it! Thanx for the post!

and yea, the sunoco's around here usually carry higher octane. They're the only station i've seen carry 94 octane at a pump in Ohio. Not really racing, but better. However, they charge like 20 cents above premium price for that. Ouch.

 

in california ive only been able to find 1 station that carries 100 octane fuel its a 76 in orange county but at 8$ a gallon they can keep it

 

My uncle has a 500gal storage tank full of 101octane fuel. He lives in a town of 8 people 50 miles away from any real town. He is 94years old and drives a v10super charged dune buggy for uphill climb challenges. (also to deliver the mail, as he is the mail carrier there). It goes 0-90 in 6 seconds or so. (there are stearing breaks on the rear wheels cause the front ones hardly touch the ground).

 

Dude, if I live that long, I want to be like your uncle.

As for fuel, I shop at Wal*Mart. Never had a problem with quality, prices are very competetive, even without their "Support Globalization Shopping Card" (though I like the $0.03 discount that the card gives).

Here in IL, Wal*Mart's regular is 89, their mid is 91 and their premium is 93 with prices that match others tier-for-tier (as opposed to octane ratings). So, the 89 Octane there is usually the same price (before discount) as 87 elsewhere in town.

 

walmart has fuel? i have never heard of that

 

i live around ya, i usually go to shell cuz a friend owns it. who knows its probably all the same anyways.

 

My 8 works fine on Walmart and BJ's gas. I do use Hess alot, its like .20$ cheaper pergallon then everything around me.
I think Shell was considered the best to use. I know some people that refuse to use any gas that isn't Shell.
I used from good gas to crackhead gas (Tom thumb gas)in my turbo civic and it was running strong after 150K miles.

 

All the stations I go to are certified with the MS logo.

Hel,l you will destroy your car if you don't buy MicroSoft gas.

 

It starts out life the same way. Then additives are put in the gasoline such as octane boosters and detergents. That is what makes the difference and why you may pay a couple of pennies more for a quality gasoline.

 

How long do you think before they phase out Microsoft Gasoline87 and force you to upgrade?

 

wait wait wait...i definetely have missed a page somewhere when MICROSOFT makes gas now...

What happenes when my system crashes?

 

well you reboot of course.

 

I was using the MS gas, but my car kept freezing up.

I have been using Hess (and sometimes Sunoco) for so long w/my truck that I just continued doing so. Mostly b/c they import lower percentages of oil from the Mid.East compared to other companies. But I try to go w/shell now that I have a vehicle that makes gas qaulity important.
