$10 of Gas for $4 on Groupon!
Shuffled through my emails today and found this, I'm pretty sure everyone here can use a discount on gas. Works for BP Stations and Arco as well. Good for gas or snacks.

Not to many people are going to go to Chevron when they see a 35cent difference across the street plus added member discounts.
But so far I'm yet to find a Chevron that friggin works. Every time I've tried it says the system is down.

Ever notice how many chevrons are right across the street from Safeway gas stations? They kind of had to do it.

i used to go to safeway and would save a dollar per gallon! but TBH, some say its all the same, but i personally could tell the difference in fuels. Safeway 91 didnt get me nearly the same tank as Chevron or Shell 91
The differences are the additives, I hear. All fuel come from more or less the same facility.
If in doubt, FLAT OUT

I dunno, before I was on E85, I had noticeably less knock margin on Chevron compared to Shell or 76. I haven't been to a Chevron in probably 4-5 years, so that easily could have changed, but I'm positive it had less octane (in practice, in our cars) than 76 and Shell did.
Not sure how or why it came about, but there seems to be a pretty widespread feeling that Chevron is "the best". My experience tells me otherwise.
