We all have our preferences ..... but
I am in the industry of keeping gas stations up and running. From the registers / POS system in the store to the dispensers / tanks / turbines outside. We service all the major oil company corporate ran sites to small Mom and Pop ran single dispenser stations....
The question of " so where do you buy your gas from ? " is one I hear daily. Based on the quality of upkeep on the equipment that stores and distributes their product is the main reason I make my choices. I avoid stations that allow any amount of water to be present / found at the bottom of their tanks. Many of these sites allow their tank levels to get very low before scheduling a delivery. Dropping fuel into a tank which is low and has water present allows that fuel to get agitated during the process. The whole time, customers are still fueling from those tanks. Sites that allow this also often take no precautions of having hydro-absorbing filters at the dispensers keeping water from getting by and into customers vehicles. Sites can have issues with single hose / multiple grade dispensers not providing just the grade selected to be pumped into the customers vehicles. Some sites that run on a shoe string budget may wait months to pay to have this resolved. If the issue is in their favor 'You select 92 but but a lower grade is getting mixed in as well' many stations will keep that dispenser in service. For me, I have minimal concern regarding the quality of fuel getting delivered to the gas station. It is what will happen to that fuel via the sites fueling equipment that causes me to fuel from one station vs another. I buy my fuel from Corp owned Chevron stations and Costco but never from Arco stations. I avoid independent sites that look ran down. The overall conditions / upkeep of the building often reflects how they maintain their fueling equipment. What stations to buy fuel from if paying via debit / credit card, especially if paying at the pump is a much more important concern to me by far |

I’ve ran Costco 93 and occasionally Shell V-power 93...no issues so far...Costco always has a line...waiting 5-10 minutes is the normal...so turn over shouldn’t be a issue...tankers are on site more than I’m accustomed at other stations

I live in the Bay Area and fill up with Shell 80% of the time and the other 20% with Chevron. I've noticed that every time I fill up with Chevron, I get crickets.

You guys are all doing it wrong.
You get what you pay for. The most expensive gasoline is the best. Obviously.

Need to look at the real cost though not just the price! Those look bad at the US average daily wage of $156 but just imagine how much impact they have when compared to the average wage of those countries. Imagine spending 80% of your daily pay on a gallon of gas!
Least Affordable 1. India Price per gallon: $3.75 Average daily wage: $4.77 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 80.20 percent 2. Pakistan Price per gallon: $2.32 Average daily wage: $3.97 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 56.71 percent 3. Philippines Price per gallon: $3.17 Average daily wage: $8.14 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 39.69 percent 4. Nigeria Price per gallon: $1.94 Average daily wage: $8.00 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 34.85 percent 5. Egypt Price per gallon: $2.66 Average daily wage: $10.25 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 28.40 percent 6. South Africa Price per gallon: $3.19 Average daily wage: $13.03 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 23.64 percent 7. Indonesia Price per gallon: $2.23 Average daily wage: $9.89 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 22.36 percent 8. Thailand Price per gallon: $3.44 Average daily wage: $16.23 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 21.84 percent 9. Turkey Price per gallon: $5.77 Average daily wage: $26.13 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 21.22 percent 10. Bulgaria Price per gallon: $4.05 Average daily wage: $18.93 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 21.19 percent All of a sudden Norway makes the top 10 cheapest list (even though the prices are different) Most Affordable 1. Venezuela Price per gallon: $0.02 Average daily wage: $16.14 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 0.95 percent 2. Kuwait Price per gallon: $0.88 Average daily wage: $68.69 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 1.27 percent 3. United States Price per gallon: $2.57 Average daily wage: $156.34 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 1.64 percent 4. Luxembourg Price per gallon: $4.69 Average daily wage: $285.13 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 1.66 percent 5. Saudi Arabia Price per gallon: $0.91 Average daily wage: $52.77 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 1.72 percent 6. United Arab Emirates Price per gallon: $1.80 Average daily wage: $90.13 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 2.00 percent 7. Switzerland Price per gallon: $5.58 Average daily wage: $213.60 Daily wages spent on one gallon of gas: 2.58 percent 8.

I normally use Costco 91 gas since its top-tier certified. Based on the previous posts I assume Costco in the states offers 93, I haven't seen 93 at any Costco yet here in Ontario. Where I live in southern Ontario Esso offers 93 and Petro offers 94.

I noticed in the winter dont get crickets as much. The summer blend is gone which is what causes crickets + heat outside.
