Is there a god-tier brand of gasoline? Shit-tier? I've heard to avoid Arco and that Chevron is best, but maybe that's just people thinking cheapest = worst and most expensive = best.

Where do you fill up, /o/? Are there brands that are definitely superior/inferior?

Does shell premium really have no ethanol? I typically fill up at Speeday or BP, but if that's true I know where I'm going.

Depends on what state you live in.

I will have to look into that. Thanks.

No. They all contain ethanol in the midwest. I can't say for west of the rockies, but ethanol is God King in corn country. The last place I saw "real gasoline available" was in Laramie, WY.

Goddamn I hate the ethanol lobby. And it sucks living in the corn belt.

That said, the additives don't really matter much when you have a direct injection engine. Additives (eg Shell Nitro Power) don't do jack shit for intake tract deposits because they aren't sprayed into the intake tract.

t. My wife has a Mini with direct injection. She ONLY used shell 93 octane Nitro for the first 40K miles. She still had to replace the high pressure fuel pump and have the heads de-coked (walnut blasted) at 38K miles.

If you have a modern engine, just burn whatever you want. Additives are shit-tier marketing.

I can get 100 octane unleaded at this old timey place near me. It makes my 96 Accord roar.

Wal-Mart gas is best gas

The atmosphere is already 80% nitrogen, dingus.

Hey, I'm not their marketing droid. It's their name for adding piss to their gasoline in the US.

It probably works (at least as well as Techron) for cars that have carbs or TB injection, but for direct injected engines it does nothing. Zero. Squat. Shit.

I always get sunoco. If it's good enough for nascar it's good enough for me.
