Chevron with Techron

I voted Chevron with Techron as well. It is usually pretty cheap around here plus there is one at almost every corner. The Terrible Herbst family owns the majority here.

As long as it has techron in it you are good
I guess I cant vote cause I dont drive a MS3 but I try to stick with the top-tier gases (Shell and Sunoco are all that are around me). But I really wish we had Chevrons here in Jersey.
Amoco/BP, for not being top-tier rated is actually the purest of premiums. I would use them if their stations werent the dirtiest slimiest stations I have ever seen in New Jersey

gee what-a-jerk.
I used shell cuz I got that card thing, but I rather use chevron. When I have cash for gas, I used chevron, way better than shell. Citgo, well, lets not turn this into a political arguement/thread, but I'm from Venezuela, so you might know where I'm coming from. Citgo=Evil.

I actually wish there was a Chevron in the northeast. I primarily use Shell since they're all over the place, but would like to alternate brands every 3k miles to keep everything clean. There are a few Texaco stations (part of Chevron) but they're all out of the way.

Beware of the "cheap" aspect. I would never go anywhere cause it was cheap. I mean you are buying something that only runs your car. I would rather pay $3.25 for good gas instead of saving a couple bucks. IMO
Cheap gas FTW!
I don't belive that "only use top tier gas" bs. I been using no brand gas for years(around 12) and never had a problem. Remember most if not all gas stations get their gas from any refinery. They add their additives latter.
Just keep using different brands and you'll be alright.

Yup... there's nothing that I've read that would indicate any performance gains from one brand to the next. Oil is a commodity that oil companies sell to each other all the time so you might be buying Exxon the next time you pump at a Shell.
You're basically buying the cleansing additives which are different from one brand to the next. Most people don't care, but I personally would be reluctant to use low-grade gasoline on a car with a direct fuel injection system which can be sensitive to gunk build-up.
Regardless... I think we can all agree that its best to rotate brands twice a year or so.

I dont go by one brand, but whichever has the highest octane and good gas. I have bought bad gas from every brand, holiday, shell, bp etc etc. I usually buy from bp holiday or shell though
