I usually go to Chevron...nothing specific but I just go there cuz its closest to my house. But I've heard Chevron gas isn't good. Dunno why tho.

I go to Chevron. I prefer their stations to most 76 because they feel more inviting to me. Usually 76 seem like there a small auto repair place, TINY convenience store and then like 6 pumps.

Most all Chevrons have a good amount of pumps and a good selection of items in their convenience store area, plus they just seem better lit to me.

I can't really say why I would prefer their gas over 76, but I've used Chevron for 4 years now and have no reason to switch.

shell or chevron, the engine actually seems to like shell better and its typically cheaper.

my econ teacher told me that shell has better quality gas meaning it has less water in it. second cheveron is good but too many other addatives. shell also reduces knock in the engine. shell is also used in formula one cars =)

I use Phillips 66. I seem to get the best performance and gas mileage from it. There are not many Shell stations around me and I can't think of any Chevrons nearby.
