We have a Mobil station right down the hill from my house, so thats usually where I get my gas from. I've been very satisfied with their gas, and their prices are usually right about average compared to everyone else.

Sometimes I get my gas at Shell if I'm on my way to work, they seem pretty good too

I usually buy mid-grade gas from QuikTrip -- even when gas prices go north of $2.00/gallon.

I like to use Shell since it's so close to my house... I live in NY but like 5 minutes down the road is the boarder of NJ... Super--- for my 88 Beretta... When I drove by there on Friday night the price was $2.09 a gal of Super!

Anything else make my car run like it was going in reverse if you know what I mean!.. lolol

For quite a while now I have only been using shell gas in my car. I have noticed a difference so I stick with them.

There's a Speedy Q by me that sells midgrade for the price of regular, and on top of that they are usually the cheapest around. So needless to say thats where I try to get my gas from.

I don't think most people on here have had the benefits of a sheetz. Sheetz rules though and their MTOs.

You canadians!! What are we to do with you guys!?! j/k Sorry I have never heard of any those places.

I don't like BP, they have wax in the gas. I tendto stick with Modil, I've been getting the best milage and perofance from them. Trust me, driving 30K a year I've tried all types of gas, and Mobil has give the best results
