I've always used BP Ultimate (98 RON) in my cars except the Golf which takes diesel! :)

With the price of petrol these days I'll probably just run the 95 RON stuff at least until I go with forced induction.

I've heard it's best to go to the busiest station around. The idea is that "fresher" gas has higher octane. Can't remember where I read that though...

I'm a creature of habit. There's a shamrock station right up the road from me that i always fill up at.

Well, used to anyway. They recently knocked it down to rebuild a new Valero station (parent company of shamrock, i guess), so I'm stuck buying gas all over town. It feels downright weird. :shrug:

Yeah, well there's big ($) reasons to jump on the ethanol bandwagon. I'm not totally against it, if I were to build a non-DD, it would be fun to properly convert (redo fuel lines, huge injectors) it to run on E85.

Cheap stuff in my beater car.

i drive by a citgo terminal everyday back and fourth to work. every possible tanker truck you can think of pulls in there to load up. i don't think it really matters where you buy fuel or what brand you use when it all comes from the same place. I buy from sam's club. i work there and i know what they put in the ground and we have the system properly maintained and tested. we also pump out slightly more than you pay for(about 4 to 8 ounces per five gallons) its cheaper to dispense more than get fined for not enough

Our local Sunoco carries 100 octane for the extra power hungry individuals. I have all of those gas stations within about 4 miles of me though. It's really determined by price.

oh if buying high test, make sure to go to a station with multiple pumps.the single pump starts you off with whatever the last guy used.or atleast this is what someone told me.

I try and stay away from Chevron. When I was a kid I remember my dad being furious with them for closing Riverside raceway. I don't remember the details, something about putting up an industrial park. He cut up their credit cards and mailed them back with a complaint letter. They didn't reply they just sent him new cards.

I go to 76 because they're close by.

So do you live in central california? There is a planned massive racing arena to be placed in Atwater, California. Anyway, i know its a long shot but I had to ask.

I usually do Exxon because they usually have the cheapest gas on my way back from school. Sheetz is sometimes a penny or 2 cheaper but I would take exxon over sheetz gas any day of the week. If I am out just driving and need gas I usually stop where ever I deem to need gas at and is cheapest.

akaryrye, check your PMs

The high test 100 oct has it's own dedicated pump. No cross octane contamination.
