f85stealth Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 Is there one company that stands out as having excellent gasoline quality. So one knows when they buy brand X it is trusted. I have stuck to Mobil but maybe something else is better? Just curious...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluesuby Posted March 17, 2012 Share Posted March 17, 2012 I don't know if I buy into Top Tier. Sounds like you'll make the list if you buy their product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strizzy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 So TOP TIER is pretty much gasoline that has more detergents per gallon rather than fuel? My bad luck build Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pillboy Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 Thirty-eight years of driving and I have never had a fuel related issue. Just buy the proper octane rating for your car from a brand name distributor. Stay away from the "Shitty Gas for Less Money Than Everyone Else" gas stations and I doubt you will have any issues. It is still ugly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meier motor sports Posted March 18, 2012 Share Posted March 18, 2012 even going to a "good" station you can still get bad gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scoobyscoodle Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 Quality of fuel is much more dependent on location in the country than the brand of the gas station you're at. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FocuS Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I have been running Costco gas since I got my car. It was tuned on said 92 octane and runs great. I have had a drop in mileage as of late but I think this is more based on a new sensor and timing belt...not that I have quantifiable data to back that feeling on...

snowboardr424 Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 I've always seen the best mileage/ performance running Sunoco. I had my old WRX tuned by Hill from Agile Auto and he swears by Sunoco. He recommends it, daily drives it and tunes it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedDawg Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 i use sunoco the most only because its the most common in this area with 93. i'd prob use wawa more if they had 93 instead of 92, i NEED that extra octane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChefRacer Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Wawa is the only place that I've ever seen 92 Octane, they have the same price for 92 usually as other gas stations in their proximity will have for 93 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2manysubies Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Just a thought, a dream if you will... Sunoco 260. . . 280. . . at the pump available in every state...(somebody play some dream'n music please) Mac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CapnJack Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Mobil 1 5W-30 with a 3000 mile change interval. Has never burned a drop of oil. Crap - wrong thread... I use shell because I get the best mileage with it and it burns completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Types4 Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I have noticed that with my current tune, the only gas that won't lower my DAM is chevron. Shell, mobil and 76 just don't work for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris GTO TT Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I get my gas from Costco as I worry about age more than anything else. If you buy premium from a station that rarely sells it you could be getting weeks old gas instead of days. With the added ethanol and the other mandatory additives in gas it doesn't age very well after a few weeks. 2003 Baja 5MT 2016 Outback 2.5i Premium w/Eyesight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee07 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I always go to BP. It's near by, not ever busy and I can still get it when I'm going on an Road Trip. Even SA OR Shell isn't around once you leave the cities. BP, probably will be there. Bp for Life/til they go out of business Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbperry Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 I always use Shell - besides I get a nice .10 cent discount using my Kroger points, doesn't add up to a lot but its a perk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
