I like Chevron best due to the techron but Shell also has that kind of gas now.

I choose which ever is cheaper in the area I am in.

Natural gas or propane?
I hear propane has an octane rating of 120.

I use Amoco Ultimate only. It has proven itself time and again to be the highest quality, cleanest burning gasoline commonly available.

I use Sunoco 94 exclusively, and it doesnt hurt to know that Sunoco and BP get 95% of their ingredients form other sources than the middle east.

I've heard anything over 93 doesn't do anything for your car. The logic behind it is that higher octane gasoline is slower burning and our R's weren't designed to handle such a high grade of gas (94 or above). What's the general concensus on this?

I pickup propane all the time in my ITR. They've been averaging about $4.60/gal. Kinda went up for the winter season. Got to keep that trailer warm though.

It's not that our cars aren't meant to run the better gas, it's more like our usdm ecu's are not mapped for it.

Gas in Japan is way better than 93 if I remember correctly and it is standard. 91 is like **** compared to japanese gas.

Costco Gas...of course 93 octane...I dont think vendor is such a big deal...just as long as its good octane.Costco seems to always be 8-10 cents cheaper then anywhere else
