    Default Where to, and where NOT to buy gas?

    Friday night I filled up before heading to Evasive's Shindig. I filled up at Shell, and since then from a slow take off, my car has had a miss until i get above 2k Rpms.

    I didnt notice any trucks there refilling the station, so I'm assuming that the shit in the bottom of the tanks wasnt stirred up. Maybe I just missed them? Or does shell have bad gas?

    I hate when my car fucks up, I never had this problem until I filled up there.

    Where is a better place to go? I've been told NOT to go to Quick Trip as well. Any arguments there?

    Thanks I just want my car to run correctly

    You can't water down gas... gas comes from oil, and oil and water don't mix. IMO, BP by far has the best gas. QT and Ractrac buy there gas from the cheapest vendor they can that day, that's why they always have the lowest price. Costco sells BP gas....(shhhhh no one is supposed to know).

    just because it doesnt mix doesnt mean it can't be in there.

    True, but you would be pumping straight water at that point. Water doesn't ignite or like being compressed and you wouldn't make it 5 ft from the dispenser.

    I dont buy from any OLD or very small ghetto gas stations...always have bad experiences.... I love racetrack, chevron and qt.......

    if its a ghetto chevron or racetrack, forget it

    noticed small gas stations have bad filters or water in their gasses


    QT gas is gauranteed, so I am sure they are not stupid enough to degrade their gas in anyway

    Usually back home, I'm used to Sheetz, and Country Fair. I know BP and Sunoco back home also have very good gas. I'm not TO far from a BP but its out of the way for me usually.

    Any other input? thanks fella's

    Shell & Exxon uses way too much detergents in their fuel. I've seen numerous high HP cars detonate on the dyno... ((SHELL & Exxon)) I only run BP or Chevron. Occasionally, I'll stop by Phillips 66, but that's only because he sells VP Fuels

    My 1.8T is happy with any gas I put in it. My moms Audi A6 would pretty much stop running if you put in anything but chevron with techron. So we always took it to BP.

    chevron with techron is the BEST gas for a high performance car unless you can find above 93 grade ;x

    Calm down asshole. No need to call me a dumbass, cause I made a fucking mistake. I don't need you to judge my intelligence, thanks though.

    Yeah I just meant to say is that it was picky about what gas we used and if we used anything but chevron with techron or BP it would run horribly.

    Ah, okay. I was thinking that maybe you guys didn't like the Audi and were trying to make it explode or something.

    Lolz. Yeah that car was a bitch, it was in the shop all the time... We should have blown it up, it would have saved us a lot of money in maintenance.
