so i was just simply wondering what gas stations people use for their gas, who they think is the best place to use which gives them the best price, mileage, and overall satisfaction i guess. also. what octane? anyone use regular, or mid grade, or supreme? which?
i personally use Fina. because they have decent prices, and if you look at the fina sign, theres a rotary around the name..that means it must be good for rotaries right? haha.

I own a Shell station. Do to the desire of the public wanting higher performance gas and today performance engine Shell premium is 94+ and is sold as V power. The chemist added a lot of cleaning agents to reduce carbon build up.
If you want you can see the difference from 87 to 94 just by its color in a glass jar.
The base stock of gas is the same but each company design better additives for faster burn and emssions. Cheap no name gas does NOT have this stuff and is not the best but works fine.We have Casino truck stops and they get the bottom of the barrel while contracted name brands (usually own a refinery get 1st dibs )
The V means nothing and is just a advertising thing to make the public identify with the new gas.
