Default Favorite Gas for your Car

What type of gasoline do you prefer for your vehicles and why? BP for me, always 93 octane and burns really well in all my vehicles.

I've read somewhere that BP was the best. Even though shell is a well-known Gas Station, it still sucks in quality.

I usually put cheap gas in my daily driver 3.8 Firebird and I could feel it when I put BP in it.

For the camaro a mix of Sunoco 94 and Sunoco 110.

In the last Z I could tell a small difference using Sunoco 94 Octane over other 93 Octane brands. Keep in mind the car has a tune for 92 Octane or whatever.

Cam2 110.

Although I may try out e85 next year and just run 110 in a stand-alone cell for the plate.

Same here for my LS1, but if I'm filling up the beater then it just gets whoever has 87 the cheapest.

Mobil 93, but the station down the street (can't remember what company) has 94 octane. I just know NOBODY buys the 94 octane, I'm afraid there could be condensation in the tanks or something.

Heh, my DD is a 97 monte.

Usually put BP or Shell in the Camaro. Shell alot though because its on the way to the Friday night cruise.
