Wow you guys are bright.

I always run Citgo in all my cars. I can't say whether or not its better than anything else, but it runs well. My old Neon had problems with Shell gas. Something about it would mess up the fuel level sending unit.

I run Chevron on all my cars. When ever I run Shell, its like im owning a SUV. Thats just how many times I have to take a trip to Shell. It burns too gawd damn quick. Reason why i gave my car Shell gas is because my mom gets $20 Shell gas cards from work and sometimes she would trade me for a $10 movie card. So Shell sucks... that is all.

yea, for the most part its nothing night and day.. negligible differences really.

But.... one occasion I went to some hole in the wall gas station way out in the mid of nowhere... and wowwowow was that gas terrible, my monte carlo sounded different, was super sluggish... just horrid gas, and that was 93!

i dont think so , when i had my echo, i have always use 87, then i switch to 93 just to see if there were any difference, and there was a difference, it was that i was getting less MPG for the 93 than the 87, higher octane does not = better fuel economy
