Shell>chevron

I normally use chevron or Costco gas but I recently filled up twice on shell gas and it made a significant difference in power delivery. I was always under the impression that chevron and Costco gas was the better way to go but I'm convinced shell is definitely better. At least for the Tahoe/Reno area. Either that or the gas pumps are switching to the summer mix.

I get the most out of shell but Costco comes in at a close second for me as fast as mpg goes

Shell 437 miles on 12 gallons (36.4mpg)
Costco 407 on 12 gallons (33.9mpg) but I could have also driven harder on the Costco gas

But hell I can't complain with how good my gas mileage is haha

got to remember with Costco, one week you might be buying surplus from a refinery that supplies Chevron, then the next its the local AstroMart at the end of the block that cannot guarantee if there is water in the gas or not.

Red Diesel or GTFO

I typically use Chevron or 76, my car doesn't like shell as much. Valero isnt bad either.
