Chevron also because it's by my way. But I'm not usually picky, I just stay away from AMPM. Funny thing is that I almost hate going to my Chevron because now the person at the register has to authorize you to buy premium (91 octane) whether you pay debit or cash. And I hate that I have to walk in the store and tell them I want premium when I pay debit, doesn't that defeat the purpose? . Even worse is that when I pay inside they ask 'do you want unleaded or not?' Or better yet, the first few times this started happening, they didn't bother asking and assumed I wanted 87 or 89 octane and I had to walk back and forth 3x before the gas pump let me pump 91. It's never taken me almost half an hour just to pump half a tank of gas!!!!



Ok I'm done.

If it's good enough for 'rari, it's almost good enough for Lexus.

Chevron/Techron for me. For some reason it last longer and I get more miles with Chevron/Techron. I get Shell/V Power sometimes.

Hess 89 octane ONLY and a bottle of lucasoil fuel system treatment every now and then v-power is too expensive.

i paid 2.229 for 89 octane the other day.

please dont tell me you are actually putting costco gas in your lex?? haha i have dislikes towards arco or costco gas though due to my uncles old camry failing smog on costco then passing using chevron. There may be something else to that equation though.

Anyways, for me im chevron all the way. Sometimes shell when im running on fumes and right beside one.
