Best Gas for Performance, Mileage, Cost ?
 

What's the best gas you've used in your Z for performance, mileage, and cost? I'm not talking about racing fuel, just normal consumer grade gas.

I fill up with BP/Amoco Gold (premium).

I only put Top Tier fuel in our vehicles; the majority of the time it is Chevron.

I use Shell V-Power or Chevron

Unfortunatelly in the dumb *** state of California, they only have 91 octane. So thats what goes in my 370, preferably Shell V-power.

The above posts sum it up. Top Tier is the way to go.

Top Tier brands are absolutely what you should go for; I would also suggest that consistency with the brand you use is important as well.

I use Shell almost exclusively both because it tends to be good gasoline but also because it tends to be easy to find Shell stations...depending on where you live and/or where you travel, you just can't find certain brands at all in some locations and/or not specifically when and where you need them.

This is good info. I've always used BP, but maybe I'll switch as I don't see them listed on Top Tier.

Chevron Only. if i see a Shell "V Power" i may try it.

Since my chevron card also works on texaco stations i am assuming they are the same now, so if i had to i would use that also.

I'm surprised Mobil isn't a TOP TIER gas.

I don't think Mobil exists in Kentucky... lol Back in Milwaukee where I'm from Mobil is all but extinct as well, with only a small handful of stations in the richer neighborhoods. My parents swear by them, and call Shell "cheap" gas...

The Somerset Refinery, Inc.
Kwik Trip / Kwik Star
Aloha Petroleum
Tri-Par Oil Co.
Turkey Hill Minit Markets

Chevron Canada
Shell Canada
Petro-Canada
Sunoco Canada

Unfortunately we don't have many of those brands in Ohio, so I'll have to scout around. How about Sunoco, they seem to have a broad range of octane?

I find it strange that Sunoco Canada is on the list, but Sunoco is not. I personally do not deal with them because they're nowhere in sight anywhere I go, but my cousin uses it as his 2nd option after Shell.

I've always preferred Sunoco when I could find it but they are not nationwide.

Texaco's have all but disappeared around here but for years when I need premium fuel I use Shell V-power.
