Question GAS question...

do you fill up your X with different brands(Shell, bp, amoco, etc) each time or do you stick with one everytime?

After reading this I try to use one of the listed retail brands. Surprisingly, QT is on the list and are one of the less expensive places so I usually go there.

I use the same brand all the time and the same station 95% of the time. This way if I ever have a bad gas issue, I know where I got it from.......Phil
Ok, I just read the Top Tier article and I'm glad to see that Chevron is near the top of the list

Quicksilver, check my post above and read the Top Tier Gas link. Then tell me if you think there is a difference.

Happy X-ing!

Of all the gas stations listed... I don't have any of them near me.
The only gas stations in my area are:

BP
Mobile
Hess

There is a Shell station, but its too far from my house to fill up at all the time...
