Sunoco!! My tuner says shell and some others have been putting too many additives and detergents in their gas and he can't make as much power with it.

its whatever you feel comfortable with. here's your first, I have gotten bad gas from SHELL. Thats why I dont use it. They are individual owners, and maintain their tanks as cheaply as they can. I will go to a company owned fueling station. plus GM recommended fuels list include QT for premium fuels.
Just saying.

well it looks like its a little bit of everything i used QT for years but thought maybe i would use chevron or shell since the upgrades but as long as u use the company owned gas stations i guess its ok and not the jihad stores

My 2 cents:

Chevron,Texaco,Shell,Valero-ldvbe.jpg

The only thing that matters is if the gas station has enough business to keep the gas fresh. To put into pipelines, gas must meet certain specifications. No refinery on Earth willingly over-specs a gas because this is known as giveaway and can cost millions of dollars a year. Bare minimum.

You might also notice that some of the mainstream O&G companies don't use additives and you can't tell a difference.... BP, Valero, and I think ExxonMobil don't use them as well as most value brands....

Been running QT since the day I turned 16 while I llived in Tulsa. When I lived in Stillwater I would run Shell if I wasn't coming home before the next fill up.
