BP or Shell V-power here. Never use Citgo, 50-60 miles less per tank in my past rides, I never even CONSIDERED running it in an F-body. It would be cruel and unusual punishment.

I do my best to keep to BP, Shell, and Mobil. I'd be all over any Sunoco's w 94 if they were in my area.
That's not the first time I've heard that about Citgo.....
Did anyone else repeatedly notice a considerable mileage drop from another source?

I get my gas at the same station at the same pump for every vehicle I own LOL. The reason is N.J. don't let you pump your own gas but I've gotten friendly with the turbins
and they just wave and say "Hey Boss" (probably the only 2 english words they know) and let me do it myself.
It really funny watching other people watch me pump the gas and try to do it themsevles and you can tell they never done it, their like "where the F*** does this nozzle go!"

I only use BP's/Amoco Ultimate. I seem to get the most consitent power and performance. I will use Mobile Premium, or Shells' V-Power Premium.
I will never use Sunoco 94 again. My gas mileage and performance were in the toliet. I couldn't understand why. Maybe there was a lot of water in the fuel that day. No telling, but because of my experience I am staying with Amoco Ultimate. Of the fuels mentioned, BP usually is the cheapest.

Chevron here, but i'll use the other main brands. I personally wont go to really old gas stations, or one's in the bottom of valley's. (fear of more water then normal in the tanks.) 87 octane.
I put 100 low lead octane in my GT one time. Man you can smell that stuff. I thought it got better mpg. But who knows.
