Techron = suck

[Keego]

Give me am/pm (arco) anyday!

 

[Freejack2]

Gimme the cheapest gas I can get (Well brand name station at least)

 

[Keego]

Arco is *always* the cheapest here

 

[notfred]

I wouldn't put arco in my car for free.

 

[geno]

Mobil One/Citgo/Sunoco is all that touches my car

from my experience: arco regular gas - the cheapest gas the arco corporate people can get. Arco premium gas - same thing as regular.

My car takes premium.

Cenex is the only gas that gives me good gas mileage in my truck...

Techron=bestest
A large number of the Nascar racing teams truck Chevron gas into the south as it is not avail there...or so I was told.

 

[dethman]

arco scares me. the fact that they don't have CC machines at the pump discourages me even more.

That's *part* of the reason it's cheaper.

I use chevron exclusively on my motorcycle..
If there is no chevron I use texaco or Shell and then 76 and mobil.

I use the 91 octane for the most part (my bike requires 87) because i find there is reserve power and lower vibrations with higher octane.. plus its a difference of 30 cents max.. cause i fill up not more than 2.xx gallons at a time.

if you use cash arco is cheap if you use atm (not cc they dotn accept cc) then its 25cent surcharge which for the most part makes the gas more expensive than teh competetior who is 2 cents more expensive per gallon

 

[yakko]

I prefer Amoco then Exxon, Shell, Texaco, Hess and then maybe Coastal. Chevron makes my car run rough.

You can't use Texaco anymore
(Shell bought them out; all Texaco stations are now owned 100% by Shell and will be converted)

 

Texaco is the worst gas of them all !

IMHO,I think Chevron is pretty good,I know one thing is for sure,Chevron Techron Fuel Injector Cleaner is the best on the market for cleaning fuel injectors,intakes and combustion chambers.


Remember people

Never,Never,EVER buy gas at a station that has a tanker truck filling the tanks.
(It dredges up the sludge from the bottom of the storage tanks)

 

[gopunk]

why do you think it sucks?



btw, i know that gas is gas, and that the additives are all that matter.... right? (actually i dont' know) is shell gas (or additives if you will) better or worse than chevron?

mm.... well texaco and chevron merged. so what's going to become of chevron? or is this buyout you speak of part of the agreement where texaco would exit joint ventures with shell?

Someone was yanking your chain.......there are Chevron stations littering the South. What you don't find very often is the gas Nascar "uses", Union 76.

I think he confused shell and chevron.

I normally put chevron or mobil in. I've been putting 76 in alot lately because it's near my work, and sometimes I need gas, or I can't make it home

This comes up everytime.

ALL GAS IS THE SAME!!!!

Exxon, Chevron, and some others were sued by the goverment for saying their gas cleans and is better, Guess what, THEY LOST, as they could not prove their gas was any better than the cheapeast stuff out there.

Gas gets tested to make sure it at LEAST meets the Octane rating on the pump.
And no you don't need anything over 87 if you car or bike does not call for it. If using a higher octane makes your car/truck/bike run better than there is something wrong with the motor and it needs to be checked out. Could be a Bad 02 sensor, clogged fuel filter, dirty injectors, etc....

So get the cheapest gas from a well used station.
