be careful when selecting gas

StrifeM3 · 04-25-2011, 01:51 AM

Funny thing is I saw that same Valero but I remember reading something about people having problems with there gas. So i waited to get back into the City for Premium in LV for 4.12. I thought that was great compared to the Premium in Baker $4.95.

Once again, this is not a universal certification process. Those companies paid to be listed on that site.

Exactly what I was about to post. Look up the owners and you'll see it's stations that are certified. It's for marketing purposes only.

I didn't say you said "mixed with 93 would cause problems". I was referring to the 93 octane fuel as possibly having water contamination.

i almost stoped at that valero!! so glad i didn't. Glad to hear that once you put the shell in your car was back to normal. I have always used shell in all my cars all the time.

I did stop there, luckily just to buy a water

My friend owns a Shell gas station, there is a Chevron right across the street from him along with a another gas station right down the block(Can't remember which one). The same fuel truck delivers gas to all three stations.

Believe what you will......... just my 0.02

BTW I've been using Costco gas along with Shell and Chevron and can't notice any difference in mileage + performance between the three of them.

I think my M3 manual says they recommend BP fuels..

I use Costco and haven't noticed any issues. Prior to that I used Chevron.

That is strange... I filled up twice at that exact station with 93 during MFest and haven't had any issues. I ran the beginner track group the same day and drove home to Utah after a final fill of 93 without any issues.

In Vegas, Rebel FTW. 100 octane at several stations.
