hmm... amoco gas got the best quality?? man amoco gas station around me is old and crappy not like shell or exxon.. it's dirty and only got like 4 pumps... do u guys still recommend their or just opened shell or exxon???

 

Well avoid that particular gas station. Amoco is now BP. so if they did not convert yet to BP, then they are lagging behind and definitely avoid.

 

i have a friend who owns a gas station. he's told me that all gas are the same. they all come from the same place. however, different companies (ie shell, mobil, chevron, etc.) add different additives to their gasoline. despite this fact, i still go to reputable, known gas stations...call me ****. never know if 7-11 gas has alcohol added to their gas or something.

 

thangbu,

Yea I had a big discussion with my supervisor about that. He said he get's the "Cheap ****" because everything is the same. He also said that all we are paying for is brand *wtf???* I don't know... I still continue to go to Chevron and 76... He said all gas stations have to meet a standard of octane or whatever equal to each and other gas staion. Kinda like having a Blue Ralph Lauren T-Shirt and having the same T-Shirt but getting it from K-Mart and it's just w/o the Ralph Lauren being 20 dollars cheaper or something... Who knows...

6MT_Coupe,

omfg man I know I was tripping out on my Vacation to Hawaii and I was pumping gas in my renal and noticed it said "93 Octane" at 76 Gas station.. I was like "wtf???" and thought it was a mistake, but didn't care and left in a hurry back to the airport. I came back telling all my coworkers about 93 octane and they looked at me in amazment or something. I was TRIPPING OUT TOO!!! Dang that sucks that the highest we got in Cali is 91 Octane.. But do you know why we onlly have 91 octane over here?

And what the hell is this racing gas I've been hearing people talk about. This guy at the street races in his little civic hatchback said "I have racing gas and only race for money" and he smoked a new 350z... What's up with that? How much power does this "Racing Gas" give to your car? Cuz damn that civic hauled *** and dominated. Is that a higher octane as well???

well frist off 93 is not that high all the sunocos around here have 94. and racing gas is 107 octane unleaded.

 

Yeah, we have racing gas here in GA at a few places. It's really for high compression engines and the like. I use it in my dirt bikes when I'm training for or running a race. It's expensive - $4.00/gallon versus $1.60 for 93 octane.

The big advantage of racing gas is that it's more thoroughly tested and is more consistent quality than standard fuels are. When you have something finicky like a racing bike, where compression is high and jetting is right on the edge, you need the advantage of a consistent fuel quality - lean blows the top end - rich means you don't make as much power as everyone else.
