Fuel Brands

[shawnb123]

What brand of fuel do you get the best mileage with? I have a 2007 Silverado, with new body style, and a V6 engine. 17 mpg is the best I have ever gotten out of this pickup. I usually get about 14 or 15 mpg at 70 or 75 mph. I'm thinking about installing cruse control, to see if that helps. Any thoughts?

With my 2000 it was Chevron. Only problem we dont have them around here.

 

Now I basically only run Gas America (E85)

 

When I am out of town I usually hit a Mobil.

Shell VPower seems to be what my truck likes. Just wish more were around here.

Only gas I buy is Shell Reg unl 87 octane and I'm getting 17.5 with 1000 miles on it.

i only buy sunoco just becasue its the only local gas station with a decent convinence store

I try to buy from the Road Ranger near where I work, mostly because they are Top Tier certified fuels, and they are priced competetively with other station selling lesser swill.

Only Top Tier for me.

 

Diesel is usually Shell or Diamond Shamrock (Only ones around here anyways that are at $2.89 a gallon)

 

Regular Gas, I usually run Philips/Conoco, Diamond Shamrock, or Shell. BP or Sinclair when in a pinch and can't find anything else close by. Would run Chevron without hesitation all the time if they had them here in Colorado.

I don't remember enough from my Org Chem classes to understand the differences, but I try to stick to the top tier fuels. And in Des Moines, that really limits you to 1 or 2 difference chains.

 

FWIW, my mechanic had a jar of Top Tier Gas and a jar of regular stuff. The Top Tier was a beautiful deep golden-clear color, much like a nice Sam Adams. The regular was dark and cloudy, kinda like a Guinness Cloudy Black.

 

Don't get me wrong, I love me some Guinness, but I wouldn't put it in my truck's tank. My tank on the other hand . . .

Good to know I am not the only one looking for the Top Tier Fuels....

 

Here is the link to my favorite fuel centers...

Shell VPower 93 octane of Conoco/Phillips 66 93 octane. on the highway I get close to 20 or better when drivng 65-70 mph.

[dlstewart01]

I use Shell 93 but I have a 93 octane tune. Other wise just use 87.

i have a Chevron and Shell station down the road but there prices are HIGH..about .30+ a gal more than the ARCO a cross the freeway. so i have been using the ARCO for years. out of town any top tier will do.

one of the things i like about ARCO is

works better than buying a water injection system
