What Brand Of Fuel Does Everyone Use?

[Bowtie70SS]

Yeah down in Ky you have that ghetto gas (91 octane). Just bustin balls Shay. I normally use 93 octane and I hate to spend the $$ to fill it but what the heck to me it beats driving a Honda.

[Joel Blair]

I always try to use Shell V-Power

[BOB47]

Stay away from Sama club/walmart gas..they water it down so uch it screwed my truck up until i figured out what the problem was...their gas.

 

Only Shell/Chevron now

 

 

Could be a cheaper blend that your truck doesn't run well on. They can't water it down. It would ruin any engine almost immediately. Octane and quality are federally regulated. If you really suspect their gas is watered down or thinned in any way you should report them. My wife works for one of the major fuel suppliers in our area and believe me, it all comes out of the same tap. Some companies require different additives which can cause your vehicle to run differently but the basic gasoline is the same.

 

I usually use Sunoco or Firebird (independant). Whichever is cheaper.

frack, i wish we had 93 out here. Best thing on average is 91 at the pump. Though a few places sell 100, at 6.99 a gallon.

For what its worth though the truck seems to like Chevron 91 better than 76

 

Nothing higher than 91 here in Idaho either. I always use Chevron 91 octane. That gas is wonderful. It won't go bad, and I never have to add Heet.

 

I have let it sit in lawnmowers, weedeaters, snowblowers, dirt bikes, four wheelers, street bikes, etc for long periods of time without problems. I think the gas in our four wheeler is two years old and it still fires right up.

 

When I traveled back to Florida for two weeks this summer, even the Chevron stations had 93 octane. Someone told me (which doesn't make it true LOL) that the 93 octane in Florida is the same gas as the 91 octane in Idaho, but in Idaho it is downrated because of the altitude. Both are marketed as "supreme."

I have seen shows about how they thin it with oil or water as much as they can. You dont understand how bad my ruck ran on this stuff.

I heard the same thing about it all coming out of the same tap. A friend of mind hauled fuel from Seattle area to the Okanogan Valley and he said the only difference is the drivers would pour their respective companys "special sauce" in each tanker load.

 

The fuel I run is 92 octane provided by our local Ag Supply Co. I run it in all of my vehicles and boat and we also use it in all of our patrol cars at the PD too and have never had a bad fuel problem.

Anythings possible. Call your state or federal regulators if you think they're thinning it. The fines are MASSIVE. I called on a local station here cause everytime you started the pump it showed .04 cents before you even started pumping. Not much but after a few thousand cars, it adds up. Found out later that they were checked and turns out they had been that way for months. Station got nearly $500,000 in fines. (They are still appealling it.)

[thallent]

I usually run sunoco 93. Somtimes I will go to the giant eagle get go and redeem my points for the 93. Like two weeks ago I spent 2.50/gal for 93.

[Fireman31]

I only use Sunoco Ultra 93 or Hess Super 93 octane

[Hankg42]

Shell or Sunoco. 93, or the highest octane available.

[palletyard]

shell 93 here.... but i l can't use royal purple's 110 octane anymore cause it was making my muffler bearings to go out .. and it would also make my flex capacitor to rust

[victorredss]

I pump 93 Octane at Texaco...with Techron...Same for the past year and a half

[Holty]

93 octane BP usually

[CoolBlueSS]

I use 93 octane from QT (Qwik Trip). It's usually the cheapest, and runs really well in mine. They were one of the first gassolines rated as a top tier fuel (along with Chevron) by GM. Sometimes I use Shell, as I've had good luck with their gas.

[NTMD8R_SS]

91 octane i get it from anywhere
