Chevron bad premium gas at area pumps

the best stations are ones with the cleanest bathrooms imo. those are usually in rich folk areas and rich folks use premium often to keep things circulating for our Z's.

This^^^^^ but in those areas they also charge more for the gas. I definately look for stations that take care of their place. I will pay a few extra dollars for piece of mind, imagined or not.

yah, that's wat ive heard too. i hear it's not like there are 3 tank rollies carrying different grades of unleaded to each of the stations.

the station generates the 3 grades and maintains the quality of them under their brand's protocol. or something.

but then, filthy stations you can bet they dont give a f- about premium gas.

Eh Chevron charges like .10-.20 more then other gas stations in my area. I much prefer Shell, BP, QT, RaceTrac.

i honestly see a little difference when i go to QT and lets say shell... gas seems to last me longer from shell then it does from QT. i recently filled up at sunoco and gas seemed to be the best from there. there is no sticker on the pump that says any ethanol is used so im guessing it's ethanol free

Honestly it might be psychological. I was that guy and put 89 in by accident. Literally saw no change in how the car ran, performance, or MPG. I like QT and Race cause the price and the facilities are pretty well maintained l.
