The gas thread.
 
What's everyone use and why?

Me, I buy mostly from BP, but sometimes from Chevron or Shell. Always 93, of course.

i always end up buying mobil because it's very convenient for me but i feel bad about it since they're a middle east company. I believe the sunoco is not but it's not convenient for me at all. I could be wrong on these it's been a while since i researched it

I will go to BP, or Chevron. I used to go to Shell but now they only carry 92 octane so I just stick with whoever will give me my 93. I will also visit Sunoco for their 94 octane but there is only one Sunoco around here.

Shell usually, but thats because its right up the street. But within like 2-4 miles I have about every gas station I could ever want to choose from.

hustler 11-24-2006 01:50 PM

racetrack or 7/11 because they are next to my house.

getsidewaysd1 11-24-2006 02:29 PM

We have 109.5 turbo blue and Sunoco 110 here. Both about 4.50-5.00 a gallon.

getsidewaysd1 11-24-2006 02:47 PM

Ya, thats about the same price over here too.

magnamx-5 11-24-2006 02:52 PM

i usualy get the best gas i can find shell used to be it but they seem to have gone down in the last few years now i like chevron and bp wish i could find a sunoco here maybe 20 someodd miles west in leicthfeild or 40 someodd in louisville not very convenient.

If it's going on the credit card I get shell because it's their card and I get a rebate... otherwise I take whatever is cheapest. 87 octane of course :)

Choices are real limited out here on the islands and the gas is expensive if you aren't military. The military get's the gas from basically 7eleven, have no idea, but I use it because it does not cost an arm and a leg to fill up.

Doesn't the E give you a bump in octane?

They don't have AAFES out there at Scofield(sp)?

boostinsteve 11-24-2006 09:43 PM

Haven't even checked, and lately traffic has been real shitty out that way. I live right by Pearl Harbor.

Racer46 11-25-2006 05:58 PM

BP because it's close to the house. I try to stay away from Citgo.

Yeah, a little, but it also hurts your mileage and can't be good for the rubber parts of the fuel system.

And finally someone says it besides me in a public place... my school has been doing tons of stuff with ethanol and hydrogen fuel cells. Everytime I present the facts and figured to inform one of the departments brainwashed students of the error in their ways I get avoided for weeks by the student(s) and their profs.
