Not going to lie... When I go to the track and need more gas, I drive into town and buy Arco.

I wish Costco pumps were open earlier

Typically I get gas on my way into work. Costco would be a half a mile out of my way, but probably worth it if it was open.

I've been buying most of my gas at Costco since we've been in Auburn. It helps keep my fuel costs in check at little.

I normally buy 76.

IDK if I would regularly buy Costco. There is one near my house. But never in the direction I'm going and there's always a line.

I have spent more time than I care to admit trying to "research" gasoline quality, etc.

I know Costco is really heavy on the detergents additive package, which is good for keeping the engine clean but not so good for making power. I know chevron and shell supposedly have a decent additive package as well, but again no real evidence or unbiased testing. I've also heard several times that it's more important which location you get it vs which company you get it from.

ACN91 probably sucks either way, but I'd love to know which company offers the best pump gas?

76 are the only ones that sell dat hundo.

I also haz a 76 card.

I agree that consistency is key. Even if you buy ****, it's better to continuously by **** than to flop around between good stuff and **** stuff.
