Have been using chevron my whole life. Been having issues with the gas light and accuracy. Since switching to shell, its more accurate. I am gonna try 76 a few fillups later.

My father does support for programmable logic controllers and had a support call from a guy that did independent gasoline testing at a company that I forgot the name of. He said that they found shell gas to be the best. For whats its worth, thought I would add that input.

First post, bla. Should have a Z in 8 or so months.

Years ago, I took auto shop and had access to a bead blaster. I bead blasted my spark plugs, then again after using union 76 for six weeks. The spark plugs still looked newish. I used Shell one time and my spark plugs looked like they had been covered with a milk white, baked on substance. Bead blasted them and never used Shell again.

Shell contains 10% ethanol. Chevron doesnt

Maybe decaf for that homeboy, neither of those posts made any sense

Weirdly, my fuel gauge wasn't reading properly using Chevron. Switched to Sunoco and now no problems.

Ordinarily I'd recommend Chevron, but now I'm only putting Sunoco in my Z.

I only put 76 in my rx7 .
Trust me. Rotary cars can tell if you have a bad tank of gas .

In the z. I do chveron. If I can I do 76

I always used Hess in my turbo G35 and was boosted on the stock motor until 113k miles when I sold it. I'd like to think that the gas had a thing to do with my motor lasting so long.

I've only put Shell in my Z so far. It's not fun filling up at $3.30 a gallon now though
