i recommend using the same gas over and over.. to keep getting the same gas mileage.. reason i say this is . when u switch say from chevron to shell. the car/ecu has to get use to the new gas therefore it would get worst gas mileage till its learned the new fuel... after that it should be fine..

one thing i always wonder is.. if it burns slow and gives u better gas mileage .. how would that make your car faster if it got u more mileage??

Shell V power is rated to be the best gas. Top gear did a test, and an STI picked up 15hp from just using Shell gas. Draw your own conclusions.

I'll admit I'm a sucker for Shell's V Power marketing. When I get an S it will get V Power

I have always used Shell gasoline in my cars. I got this habit because my parents have used Shell for many years. I just picked up on it and havent looked back. I also have a Shell Mastercard and get 5% back on Shell gasoline purchases. Plus Shell is supposedly one of the best gasolines out there and it is close to my house.
