Wherever is cheapest, which around here is usually either Hess or Delta Sonic.

Never Shell. Never.



Citgo is always cheapest and good mix.

Why never Shell? I read or heard that they had some of the cleanest gas around.



I used to go to Sunoco, but they closed all the Sunoco stations in Canada and replaced them with Petro Canada! WTF!? WEAK! Now I only get gas at Shell no matter what the price.

I've never liked shell, but there's a cheap one on the right side of the road on my way into work, so I stop there. Never liked them before, but now I don't mind so much.

Otherwise, I'll go out of my way to find a Chevron or even a Texaco, or just anything cheap. Has to have pay at the pump though.



If we're on the interstate, we'll only visit Pilot stations. They're excellent places, and my wife usually has a bunch of coupons for either a free drink or free coffee, just for being their fans on Facebook.

+1 Pilot!

I always go to Shell, because it's the closest to my house and it's the cheapest with a discount card.



SOoooo... that being said, I've notice a huge difference the last two times I wasn't home and filled up at BP. My car was much more responsive, felt better throughout the curve, and my butt dyno suspects I added quite a few horsepower.



I have a tune for 93 octane, so maybe the BP stations just have better premium gas, or a better mixture of ethanol, or it really does INVIGORATE my car. The Shell station is also right off a major interstate exit, so maybe they use cheaper gas b/c they can run slightly higher prices and get all the people travelling.
