I dont really see why most of you guys are saying shell v-power all the way...

i've put 3 tanks of mobil so far in my car and its performing fine.. Will probably switch to chevron later today though...

i also have a lexus sc300 with a 1jz-gte which is a twin turbo inline 6 (comparative to the 2jz-gte supra motor) and i tried a tank of the shell v-power crap when it came out. that v-power didnt do anything except empty my gas tank faster... just my personal experience.....

Yea you are correct.. the only differences between gas company's is their additives.. ie: tecron, vpower etc..
but weather you get Shell, 76, HEB, costco.. its the same stuff!

I put H.E.B. gas in it.. love the stuff... cheap!

The newly posted article w/ Shiv's car vs M3 shows the choice of gas was Texaco Super. Any thoughts? Been using Shell 93. Worth a try I guess.

Thats probably because its the closest premium gas station near the offices of European Car. There arent many Texacos around me and Im not driving miles just to find one. Ill keep using Shell.

Texaco makes top tier gasoline - as does Shell.

There are way too many politics attached to Citgo gas... I"ll just leave it at that.

I like the 76 station across the street from my apartment. Plus ConocoPhillips has been a long time sponsor of USA Swimming and since I've been a competitive swimmer my whole life I like to support things that support swimming.

I like Shell because they made this commercial:
