Sounds like a good idea.

If it doesn't cost more than the other gasolines I may buy shell forever. If I could find one.



I want to hear some reviews from the car testers.


How about the engine cleaners you can just add to gas from the auto parts store?? Anybody use those on their S????

I am a Sunoco 94 guy myself, I really try to not use anything else. I just finished off the tank that was in it over the winter and refilled today and my car runs a ton better. One thing I noticed with the less than ideal gas (gas that sat over the winter) was the amount of engine noise. I could really hear the valves clacking away, I even added an octane booster in an attempt to freshen up the gas, but nope.

So engine noise in addtion to gas mileage would be one thing I personally would look at when trying a different gas with this car.
