Thanks Msantos, I was hoping our shell came from the same place. I guess it does:P

Re: Anyone changing to Shell?
 

This is quite intriquing. I've only filled at Shell once, but it was my second tank and the car was still breaking in. Since then I have filled at an Albertson's (from what I can tell their gas can come from anywhere), the first tank was great but so was the weather. The next was lower but the a/c had been on more.:confused:

When I finish the current Albertson's tank I think I do a few test runs at the local Shell, it's closer to home and only a couple of cents more that the Albertson's.

If I notice a reasonable improvement I'll let you know.:shade:

According to the Federal Trade Commission no additive will help your gas milage:

Years ago at a much younger age I pumped gasoline part-time. The chain owner said that all the brands were pumping the same thing, except for Amoco no-lead.

I've been getting gas at the local Kroger and that seems to actually be better for me in terms of my MPG than gas from any of the nearby WaWa locations. I haven't really tried any Exxon or Shell stations though, as they're a bit more out of the way.

I have tried tanks with shell and tanks with no brand name and have yet to see a difference in FE. Bob's analsys would suggest otherwise but I haven't seen it.

Re: Anyone changing to Shell?
 

I have just changed from using Shell. I live in San Diego, and would fill up at Shell because it was close by where I work downtown. Unfortunately, I drive north on I-15 for my commute, which is hilly...so my gas efficiency suffers. I ended up switching as I noticed that when I filled up with gas from Arco, my mpg rose about 5 mpg with no change in weather or driving habits. I cruise in the carpool lane at 65-68 mph. That was enough for me to switch...

Just my experience...I imagine gas might be of different consistencies all over. Here is San Diego...we just pay the over-priced for no real reason kind. Argh!!!
