i was wondering if anyone has herd of CenTex gas they have 89oct. 92oct. and 94oct. just wondering if its good


thanks

 

gas is gas is gas, only difference is octane

 

GAS IS NOT GAS. If you pump say Arco and Chevron, you know there is a difference between both of the gas in the way you car drives.

 

hes right. i dont think you want cheap gas , here in VA the place where you dont want gas is east coast gas. they water down the gas and its funkdified., i usually take it to texaco . never done me wrong

 

im a chevron kind of guy myself

 

ive always liked the exon commercial with the tiger, "put a tiger in your tank", but im stilla texaco man, "take it to the star" . not many chevrons here alot of WAWAS and now a SHEETZ? whats up with all these gas stations/ convenient stores/ shopping centers with grocery stores / movie rentals / everything else i cant think of. man talk about your 1 stop gas stations.

 

explain to me how the hell do you water down gas, you add water to the gas or what?? , the chemical properties of gas are the same regardless of station

 

Gas stations in the same area almost always get gas from the same oil company anyway. Gas is gas.

 

i always use texaco but the reason i was asking is cause they sell 94 octane and i was wondering if it was good

 

when i said they watered down gas it was in pure comedy, my friends dad work at ethyl corporation , they do fuel additives for gas. the higher to octane the better it burns and more additives added in there. Compare EASt COAST GAS and CITGO to place such as TEXACO and EXXON, there are certain grades of gases that these companies get. what he told me is that aamaco has the most fuel additives but burns better.

 

Each oil company has its own thing about additives in their fuel blend. Gas is not just Gas. As to watered down-the term applies to fuel from the blending in the pipeline. There is a buffer between each brand and grade. That can and does sometimes get into the fule sold at off-brand stations. Sheetz is a large PA based company that buys and markets fuel from several national suppliers. It isn't top of the line like Exxon, Texaco, Shell or Sunoco (my favorite). I've run with Union 76, Sunoco and Exxon for a number of years. In its day Gulf (now Chevron) was very consistent.
The moral here is to buy the grade that YOUR car calls for from a reputable station that maintains its tanks by keeping them full of fuel so as to prevent condensation getting into the gas you are paying for.
