Which Brand Of Gasoline Is The Best?

I really hate this ethanol in the fuel mix to be honest... I also feel like there wasn't sufficient testing on it's effects in an engine before it became a mandatory mix.

My personal opinion is that the brand dosnt really matter...whats more important is the age of the gas station. The older stations tend to have sediments that have developed on the bottom of their tanks that can lower the quality of the gas you're getting. I try to stick to newer gas stations to avoid this problem.

A lot of people seem to reccommend Chevron though...

whats wrong with the ethanol mix? There has been plenty of testing done on it. and at those levels of ethanol (10%) all it does is minorly bring down the price of your gas, improve SLIGHTLY the octane rating, and make your combustion run a little cooler.

Really cannot hurt at all. if we stay in the 10-15% range.

Now, run anything higher than 60% and all sorts of crap happens. Fuel lines need to be changed, same as the gas tank floater, injectors should be bored out a little, etc..etc.. Not to mention that you run less BTU's per volume of fuel.

so as long as its low, I am all for it, bring my gas price down, run my engine slightly cooler its all gravy.
