Whats the best gas?
Tuesday, July 12, 2005 1:20 AM
I've always found Shell to be the best in my area
ampm/arco sucks and Chevrons ok
going from Chevron to shell I like Shell better
it seems I get better gas miles and more power

any others out there?

I think it's all in the additives that the companies use in the fuel. It's at a very small level, but with the ''detergents'' some of the fuelers use, and other stuff, (that i don't know about), it is possible to get better mileage with one. I'm from the East Coast, and i've always like Sheetz.

I think it depends on where you are from. Around my area it is Exxon/Mobile for the best performance and mileage. But then again we have one on every street corner.

Shell is the major supply chain in the east to be proven to have a higher grade of gas.

Please see www.toptiergas.com for more info.

better gas doesnt help that much unless you a better ignition system to make it burn better...the best gain u can get is like a couple hp from running 92octane.

I run nothing but QuikTrip 91 Octane... until the day I need higher. Then I rely on Sunoco 104.

I want some proof that 92 octane adds horse power to a stock N/A engine. 87 burns faster and easier. People that are running forced induction or high compression need higher octance because that gas doesn't ignite as easily. Lower octane gas will pre-ignite on those cars.

As far as gas, I prefer:
BP, Sunoco, Mobil, Chevron

I avoid(because my mileage suffers):
Kangaroo, Hess, and Mom & Pop stores

92 Octane or any octane really above 87 won't do anything for an N/A low compression motor. Higher octane is needed when dealing with high compression, lots of performance parts, and forced induction. Corky Bell writes a really good article in Maximum Boost about fuel octane levels.
