I've always used Exxon - close to home and 93 octane, used same station for years and never had a problem. Shell had a problem with too much sulfur content or something in their gas a couple years ago and fried some fuel pumps. CITGO is Hugo Chavez gas, wouldn't fill up there unless I was desperate, for political reasons.

mobil,hess,racetrack,chervron. 93octaine. Dont ever get gas while there getting gas. It kicks up dirt on the bottom of the tank and ruines your plugs.

same as nbm2001Z28.

Whatever's cheapest cause i'm poor and only got a v6 anyways. LoL
But when I get an ls1 i'll prolly use marathon, shell, bp gas most likely.
My mom works at bp and she don't even get a discount on the gas. I'm not talking about the gas station either she works at the chemical plant where they make it and other stuff.

Never get gas when the station is getting gas. It does stir up water/debris in the tank and it will clogg you fuel system.
I run usually entec or liberty/chevron 89 octane. car runs better and better fuel mileage around 2mpg more

Mobil 93-Oct
I only try and buy that gas but if I'm in a pinch I will buy Phillips 66 or BP... NEVER Shell or Citgo.
But here in St. Louis its almost getting hard to find 93... everyone is switchin to 91. But I talked the mobils by my house and all are not changeing

I'm only physically able to get gas at Shell, and only some shell's at that. I know people have a problem with not being able to fill up all the way - the pump clicks off ahead of time. For some reason, only OLDER shell stations let me fill until my tank is actually full.
PS. someone tell me how the hell to fix this.
