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

 

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.

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.

 

Exxon is better??? This forum thinks Exxon is the better stuff! LOL

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

I personally think it is all the same stuff.....

 

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.

 

Exxon. Not after Valdeaz!!!

 

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!!!
