All I use is Shell V-Power NiTRO+ gas.

Seems like it may be better than the normal stuff:

i always go shell because they sell 80c coffees and $3 orange juices and they always have mentos on sale

To be honest I feel like my car runs better on the new Citgo triclean stuff

Feels like it pulls harder and runs smoother. I've tried Shell stuff, my car feels like it bucks more with Shell, and the Mobil fuel I've used honestly felt pretty lazy.

BP and Citgo is what I like to run. Both feel noticeably better than the rest in terms of power made and I don't have any issue at low RPM bucking

This whole thread is the entire reason why organic chemists shit on car enthusiasts. If you really think seashell gasoline is gonna make your car run an extra 3hp to the wheels then you're a mouthbreather. Shell's quality standards are "un-beatable" meaning they cannot be outperformed, but that doesn't mean other companies aren't performing at that same level.

The names are all franchised, once the fuel leaves the refinery it's up in the air as to whether your local station attendant pisses in your precious 93 AKI. In addition, all states have different fucking blends in fuel quality. That alone makes this whole thread a needless pissing contest.

You want good gas? There's something called a top-tier detergent gasoline rating. It was created so cuck bois have a standard to hold their fuel quality at besides Anti-Knock Index. And yes, Kirkland (Cosco) has this rating. In fact their systems dose detergents at the individual stations, making their blends the most consistent on the market.

Fuck, now I'm out of gas!!!!

There's definitely a difference in qualities... Shell won't give you more power but at least you can trust it's freshness and quality. Costco gas is good and so cheap because they buy fuckloads of it. You think the cheap mexistation that fills their tanks once a month is quality?

When I see loiterers on the sidewalk, I go inside the store to prepay cash for the cash price. Those loiterers are just waiting for people to feed cash into the outdoor payment kiosk. As soon as you take out your money, they come to ask you.

>>17273456
>not a single scum asking for a buck for fuel in sight
That's because Costco gas stations are deep inside private property. There is no nearby public sidewalk for homeless to loiter at. Costco stations only accept cards, so no one has cash out unlike other places that accept cash or cards.

Basically, when the ability to loiter is totally removed, there won't be homeless hanging around. They move to somewhere else that allows them to loiter and watch for cars arriving. Our local costco also stopped loiterers asking cars because the city had the sidewalk removed on that exit side at the traffic light. Since it is illegal to loiter in the street or driveway ramp, that is how they forced beggars away from the cars. When the closest a beggar can be to a car is 15 to 20 feet away, they stop standing there with their signs. They know they are too far away. They can't get closer because they'll be arrested.

>Anybody here ever been asked to pay for somebody else's petrol?
I've only paid for someone's shortfall twice, but that was at the register inside the shop. I will never take my card out from my wallet outside and punch in my PIN code outside. Why?
1. My wallet is out with other people potentially armed next to me and near their getaway vehicle. Bad move.
2. My card is out and someone could possibly see my PIN punched from a different angle.
3. Once card is inserted and PIN used, that pump could put out more gas than I want to pay more.
4. Is that car really hers? Or is she filling it up for someone else? You say "What's the difference as long as it is filled up?" But to me, I don't like being lied to just as I don't casually toss out lies for personal profit.

Inside the store, I feel a lot safer paying for someone else's gas with my PIN code. I am not going to re-punch the PIN at the pump for someone that is going to take away my card and haul ass to the nearest ATM for $600 before I can possibly cancel the card.

What is the equivalent to 95 octane in America?

>>17274447
Every time people have came up to me asking for money I always turn them away, except for one time.

Some guy filling up next to me in a shitty Saturn saw me and asked if I had any money to spare for gas. I told him no, and then he went on to this story about how he had a tire blowout and he spent his last $40 on that tire. He also went on to explain that his mother was in the car and he needed to get her home (which was over 50 miles away) you could just hear the disappointment in his voice. At that point he was just venting. After that he went over to someone else.

I looked over and saw the brand new tire. I also looked in the passenger seat and saw a very old woman reclining in the chair, laying on her side. She looked like she was in rough shape. To clear any other doubts I looked over to his gas pump and saw he only put in 2.34.

I went back up to him and gave him ten dollars. His eyes lit up, he thanked me and immediately went inside to the cashier. I drove away before he could come back out.

Then tell the gas station and also send a message to the main Shell company that you won't go back to that station due to the station's acceptance of hustlers outside on their property.

someone i know drives the gas tank diesels things and he said they all come from the same refinery, only difference is the detergents they put in. for example, he told me chevron add like a liter of "techron" in the underground gas holder thing

There are places that are great with low crime, responsive unfettered police force, vibrant communities, nice infrastructure, and good shops and homes.

And of course lots of places in between.

Sure, Shell could be lying, but that just means in the worst case their gas is only as good as others. If they're not lying, it means their gas may slightly reduce engine wear.

>>17279767
>you have to buy shell gift cards
I don't like the gift card system from any vendor. They all have automatic monthly deductions of fees just for holding them. And some vendor gift cards if not used in one, two, or three years will expire.

My favorite local station displays on their LED signs the discounted cash price. So that means everyone that doesn't use cash will pay the card surcharge price.

i have a kjet fi system in my car and these HATE water and ethanol, makes all the o-rings swell and increase corrosion. i use some of that berryman b12 every once in a while.

im always on the look out for special gas stations, closest one I've seen is the vp station in cresson, tx, only because it's next to a race track, 101 to 110 aki right at the pump.

there are 93 aki ethanol free advertised stations out there, but the last i saw one was in kansas, qt of all brands, no homless people, about 3 cops.

>>17280639
Well I don't have to buy them, but why wouldn't I for 6% cash back? Also you build up kroger fuel points to use at the kroger fuel pumps for up to $1.00 off a gallon for 35gallons. 6% return is pretty significant. Buying gift cards isn't a difficult job to do to get an extra $120 a year in cash back.
