Just wondering which gas station is your favorite. I only go to Mobil. Do you consider the quality of the gas or the price?Which one is your favorite?

I used to use Philips 66 until I got a REALLY bad tank of gas. It didnt run funny but it got 5 mpg less...on a highway trip!!! Now I stick to Shell because they havent done me wrong yet, shell and Mobil are my two favorites.

Arco is generally 5cents per gallon cheaper than anyone else here in the valley.

I'll fill up at Mobil on occasion.

I normally filled up at the 76 cause its right near my house back home... I try to avoid Arco because although their gas is cheap, I swear the car runs much worse and gets less MPG on it...

Don't forget, it all comes from the same truck/pipeline - Just different additives.

There's a new QuikTrip going in across the street from my house - Brand new underground tanks = no sludge or contaminants, so I'll start going there.

I go to Speedway around where I use to live. Now that I have moved accross town, I have to scout out a new location. I had been going to Meijer or Speedway because of the price. Cheap quaility gas is a good thing. Only problem is, I can only get 91 for premium. Would like 93 or 97.

There is a BP on this side of town that looks pretty competative. I might stop there tonight.

I go to BP b/c our Shell down here in Baxter sells really cheap but the catch is they screw your car over with mixing their gas with water. :( So I stay away from Shell b/c my car was running bad from it.

I don't know...I know that it all comes from the same pipeline and essentially it's all the same except for the different additives, but 76 just gets me with their "official Nascar gas" and the special additives in it. I know it doesn't make a difference really but c'mon- it's Nascar.P.S. my car is faster after I wash it too...:D
