Shell's always done me well. If they're in competition (exxon or something across the road), they're always cheaper in my area. And the 10 cents off Wednesdays, can't beat that. Overall, they just have good gas. Never heard any complaints, nor have any and I've used it for years. For being cheaper than it's competitors, you'd think the gas wouldn't be as good.

I prefer shell and use shell most of the time. But the 2nd choice is Exxon or Mobil. 93 only btw. and to those that use the cheap gas at Wawa and sheetz u might have an oxygen sensor go if u get a bad gas from there. My brothers lexus that he had that he filled with premiem from Sheetz kill two on his car luckly car was under warrenty or it would have cost him 700bucks to replace them.

just a little fyi


The brands below should contain more detergents than the government requires. The extra detergents keep your fuel injectors and valves clean.

Top Tier Gasoline Retailers:

76
Chevron
Conoco
Entec Stations
Kwik Trip/Kwik Star
MFA Oil Company
Phillips
QuikTrip
Shell :my personal choice
Somerset Refinery
Texaco
Tri-Par Oil Company

Canada:
Petro-Canada
Shell-Canada
Sunoco-Canada
Chevron-Canada

not on the list, not in my car

LOL......99% of gasses are the same, federal law requires all oil companies to use a certain amount of detergent...... So brand means nothing out there

you can go down the road from shell to a cheaper place and the fuel is no different.

Only thing is if its dirty....ie dirty tanks in the ground, and never fill up when the truck is there cause you will putting **** in your car that you dont want.

You are the one being laughed at!!! Top Tier Gas has additional additives over the minimum amount required. Brand DOES mean something to those in the know! Research Top Tier Gas and learn something!

Shell

GM recommends it, they always have 93 (from what I've found), and anything else around here usually makes my exhaust fumes smell like sulfur.
