Mobil???

Shell???

Sunoco???

I use Sunoco...94 Octane....mainly because I don't drive it as often....right now it is $1.65/gallon.

What do you guys think

Mobil, Exxon, Shell, Texaco, Sunoco in that order of preference but nothing else. What's more important to me is the condition of the gas station - which is normally (though not always) reflective of it's gas storage tanks.

Alright alright, I confess, I've used Citgo and Hess in my car on occasion.....but I usually try to stick with Mobil. I have never had a gas related problem in any of my cars when not sticking to brand name stations, but I am trying to keep that practice to a minimum in my S2000. I am not worried about using a non-brand name gas in the car when I have to....but I never put less than 93 octane in it.

I've had problems in my '92 Accord EX Wagon when one of my nannies used some no-name gas. A few days ago, I lent one of my cars to a friend and had the same problem.

One of my friend drives a Mercedes ML series....he used no-name gas stations in the past and had his check engine light came on....brought it back to the dealer...and dealer couldn't find any problem with it....then reset check engine light, after that he started to use Name Brand(Mobil) and stick with one Brand since then he hasn't had a problem for about 10,000 miles.
