you left out Sunoco.
I added it to the list; not many of those around here.

Does anyone know about Costco/Sam's Club gas?
Yea, they are crap as well, lol.

You're talking about the top tier gast stations.
Not really, those gas stations simply meet the standards that CrazyPhuD was talking about. I am speaking of gas stations that put additional additives in their gas so that it has even more quality.

Intrepid,
It's odd that you liked diamond shamrock and hated texaco. I'm your total opposite lol.

...well, as far as gas goes.

Started a thread about Hurricane Rita possibly causing prices to shoot up higher.

I'm slightly skeptical about the direct relationship between price/additives, maybe in smaller towns it's true, but I go on clevelandgasprices.com fairly often to check prices in my area, and both citgo and bp are on the cheap and expensive lists....the "cheap" stations you listed aren't all at the bottom of the price list.

There's obviously going to be differences from city to city, town to town, gas station owner to gas station owner. I simply classified them based on a generality. I'm sure there has been times where chevron gas was cheaper than say a quicktrip, but for the most part and across the US that tends not to be the case.

I used to go Shell/ Chevron only. Now that gas is going crazy I sometimes go to Citgo.

It's Chevron, and Chevron only for me.



FYI: Chevron recently bought Texaco and will soon have Techron additives in Texaco gas as well.

I once saw a Chevron station filling the tanks at a local Costco but I don't know if it had the additives in it or not.

Only with that one car and I never figured out, nor did the dealer, why it had the problem. It might be that they were some kind of formuation during that time that my car didn't like.

I'll use Texaco but it's simply not as high on my list as it used to be.

Drive Safe,

Here we have this old fashioned gas stations. The owners of the stations usually leave their station around 20:00 or max 21:00. If the gas station is open 24 hrs, than there's only the workers who would stay there and sell petrol at night.

When a car comes and puts 60 liters of fuel that costs around 70 YTL. (20
