I have always just used the cheapest one !!! My friend said the other day that she only puts in shell because it gives her more milage. Then i asked my other friend she said only bp. I never heard of this people only using a certain brand of gas do u do this?

i try to get gas from safeway or shell because both will give you a discount through the rewards program shell is from savemart and safeway has their own gas station this is in ca. i think shell might be better gas but not really sure the prices are just a few cents more

I don't do a lot of driving because I telecommute from home.  I'm not loyal to a particular brand.  Thankfully, my area of town seems to have the cheapest prices.

Mostly there is Marathon in my area so that's what I usually get but I'm not into any one brand.  If it's convenient I'll buy BP.

I use Bj's because I have a membership and it's cheaper in my area.  If I'm outside my area and I need a little gas I will choose the cheapest.  I know the areas around me that tend to have cheaper gas so if I'm in that area I use what I know is the cheapest doesn't matter which brand.

I've heard differences about gas companies.  ie: so and so adds water to there's  . .  I prefer BP's for my cars engine or even Speedway.  Although they cost more I do see results as far as mileage and engine performance goes.  When my pocketbook needs a break I go with Murphy's or Caseys.  The BP also has a yummy white chocolate caramel cappuccino.

I use to go to Arco all the time because it was the cheapest but my gas seem to go so much faster. Now I only use Shell I don't know if there is really a difference but it seems to last longer.
