I've driven over 100,000 miles on the fuel with no problems.

I like to switch it up between Mobil, chevron, or shell; that way IF there is any difference between the cleaners, my engine would benefit from being cleaned by multiple types of cleaners.

But im not too worried, I throw in a bottle of techron injection cleaner before every oil change, and that stuff is hundreds of times more concentrated then what im getting at the best chevron gas.

I use Chevron, Shell, 76, Costco, Arco in premium.

Gas is gas. All gas are required to meet federal regulations. Only gas stations I don't trust are those no name brands gas stations. They don't get as much traffic as regular brand name ones and who knows if they keep their pipes and tanks properly cleaned.

I can recall a couple of dyno studies in the past where different fuels were tested and the only one sold in the US that made any difference was the Shell Vpower so that has been what i've always used but yes, any toptier fuel is great and no, nobody is missing the 2hp on the road.



cheers! Mike
