I mainly go to QuikTrip, which is one of the Top Tier gas stations. Other than that, I use Chevron, Texaco, or Shell on occasion.

Somebody mentioned using their AMEX card to get cash back when they got their gas. I use Discover's gas card, which is a much better deal IMO.

 

i only go to chevron and shell.

i prefer chevron, but shell is my second choice.


have never put any other type of gas in my car but those 2 brands.

 

Exxon, Valero, & Shell FTW!
(I'll push it right past a CITGO !!)

 

Damn that sucks to hear. My GF's dad (RIP) was a scientist at BP in Naperville Illinois. I guess I got fed a bunch of BS about how they were producing cleaner fuel. Damned marketing! I've been pretty religious about using BP for the last couple of years, no issues yet. There aren't that many "gourmet" gas stations in my area, but I know what looks cheap. I'll re-read the thread to find a new station.

Thanks all.

 

I go to Costco or Shell depending on how much gas is, but from the looks at the currents cost, COSTCO FTW .

I haven't try out other brands yet, since on my last car "felt" the best with Shell vs 76, Chevron, Costco....I never try any other brands other then no name cheap.

Yes sir; I completely agree.

 

I always fill up at the Quiktrip by my house and the one next to the highway on ramp when I come home from work. But it looks like alot of folks here like Shell. Maybe I'll change, or is Quiktrip quality enough to use?

 

I'm a Unocal 76 guy. Back when I had my '68 Buick, they were one of the only stations to have 93 octane gas when everyone else was 92. That extra point is pretty important when you have a 10.25:1 compression engine with non-computer controlled timing. My car could definitely tell the difference if I put in that cheap Arco gas.

Your car's computer adjusts for gas more than you suspect. Our Fits have a 10:1 compression ratio (USDM), so they should respond better to quality gas. In my previous car (an '02 Saturn L300 V6), I got a 10% increase in MPG just by switching from 87 to 91 octane (same driving habits). Running my Scantool while driving shows a greater ignition advance with the 91.

I'm still benchmarking the Fit with 87 octane and experimenting with driving habits. My best tank so far is 355/9.0 = 39.5 MPG; that's driving at 60 MPH (in Los Angeles!) and drafting 1 second when available. It also includes 20 minutes of stop and go through downtown on Sunday, or I would have topped 40. Once my mileage has stabilized at 87 octane, I'm going to switch to 91 and see how it changes.

If I can get a 10% increase in mileage for less than a 10% increase in price, I'll run 91, like I do in my Saturn. It's all about the cents per mile costs.

i HATE MOBIL!!

shell FTMFW
and then Hess-
only bc they make the hess truck, and its back and better than ever- every year lol

 

Always use the Chev w/Tech....seems to me, to give the best results overall. Usually a bit more money but hey its only money..lol

 

I use Chevron, but I also use shell if I'm on a trip and cant find one.

 

I only put Shell V-power

 

... I usually go to where ever it is the cheapest.

 

I dont have a fit but a very old accord

I fill up Sonoco only! Non Middle East Gasoline and also about 10 cents cheaper than others

Shell, mobil, exxon import their gas from the middle east

 

It's the only thing she likes.

 

Chevron is the only thing this one likes too. I tell her "hey, most gas comes from the same place anyway!?" She doesn't listen

 

They don't listen do they? I think it's the color talking.
