Shell is definitely the best gasoline available in my area from an octane standpoint. It used to be Chevron, but I was surprised to find that the computer retarded the timing pretty significantly the last time I used it. A couple of tanks of Shell 93 have it shoving me in the back like I expect it to.

Texaco is OK, too... somewhere between Shell and the absolute swill that Chevron and others are peddling.

Diesel fuel delivered to my place is Cenex. Gas is Phillips I get on the interstate. Cheapest gas in town and our town is 15 to 20 cents higher than the surrounding towns.

Is it living? When you’re down on your knees working an inside job instead of standing tall with the baws?

ESSO used to give away glasses when you filled up. I don't remember Shell giving anything away so I am an ESSO guy if I have to choose.

Well this is pretty weird. Neither I nor my family have brand loyalty to gasoline. Now, If we’re talking about gas stations I have some preferences based on who’s cheapest, in a safe location, and easiest to access. If we’re talking retail in the south, QT and Circle K(excluding buc ee’s). Wawa is my favorite but they’re only on the east coast.
