93 Octane is what the manual and manufacturer states is the fuel you should use. 91 is acceptable as well, but I personally wouldn't go near anything lower than that.

The only gas I've put in it is Shell 93 V-Power. Seems to be doing the trick so far.

Glad to see QuickTrip on the Top Tier gasoline retailer list!

Its V power or nothing

It's only one isolated example, but of the aproximate 350 times I filled up my last car. I'd say 320+ of those were at the same exact gas station. Same pump even, and that car ran like a top. Never a single issue, ever. That being said, I completely stand by this logic of consistancy.

Top Tier is not funded entirely by third parties which makes it slightly dubious. I like Shell, Chevron, and Mobil. my 2c, based purely on anecdotal data.

Mobil is in this list: http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers.html

I guess things have changed from years ago.

What gas stations are do Road Runner Fall under?

Zach3794 · 03-04-2013, 09:55 PM

I asked my tuner the specific question of which gas he prefers; between Shell, 76, and Chevron. He told me that when he conducted a test a while back, Chevron was far behind both Shell and 76, and 76 came a bit ahead of Shell. All for 91 of course. Personally, I've seen some "United Oil" trucks filling up the pumps at many 76 stations and don't trust it. I always fill up at a very specific Shell station near my job.
