So i filled up roughly 25.00 dollars of 92 octane from Super America last night. Came out to about 6.3 gallons. Its all i could afford at the moment.

We'll see how she sounds after i use it all up. Also just noted **Drove roughly 5 miles round trip and she didn't overheat**

 

Have you ever heard of arco same company the worst gas ever it will clog your injectors i ran bp when i was in indiana in my truck i had to change all injectors fuel pumps and filter before i could drive back to Arizona i'll never make that mistake again!!!!!

 

Wow, that sucks. you sure it was the gas? and not some underlying problem? Either way guess its good to get opinions about things.

 

yea it was the gas all i used was BP that summer

 

Dang, that sucks. could've never guess that one. i sometimes fill up at the no name gas stations because i figure business must suck but i think I'll stick to a known name from now on.

 

the no-name gas stations buy their gas from the same place as the name brand gas stations do, only difference is the additives and possibly the condition of the storage tanks, i see no problem with buying off-brand gas, i do it whenever the off-brand station is the best deal and my parents both do the same thing and they have NEVER had a problem caused by bad gas (between them over 50 years driving)

 

Bad gas can happen anywhere. It's usually due to a lack of maintenance on behalf of the station owners... Or sloppy work by the delivery drivers. With that said, I have to admit that I stick with major brands because I've seen too many small businesses get away with things that the corporate chains get cited on. (I'm actually referring to my experiences in medicine, but state boards and licensing agencies tend to have similar practices to avoid the extinction of "ma & pop shops") . Don't misunderstand me, I support (and typically prefer) locally owned businesses, but not with fuel.

 

All good arguments. I might still buy from locally owned but it'll be when they are the cheapest around.

 

My personal opinion is that Chevron / Texaco has the best overall fuel, but again......IMHO. Something to do with that Techron just seems to run nice and smooth with low soot.

 

Not many chevrons around here. cant remember the last time i saw one actually.

But its not as noticeable but i think i can still hear the ticking/pinging sound.
