ps. I used to use Shell gas years ago exclusively - until my last 3 cars ran like crap on it. (Thought I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and try one tank full from time to time. Ended up having to put in a bottle of octane boost just to be able to finish those tanks off.) It's only been recently that I found out in the news why my cars didn't like Shell gas.

WOW, must be nice to be able to find 93 octane! I have to settle for 91 Remember, always keep on driving when you see the refilling trucks at the station.

all the crap in the bottom of the tank floats around when they are filling it up and you can pump that stuff into your car.

I use Sunoco 94 and Amaco 93. A few years ago I read an article of a test that rated Amaco the cleanest in NJ. I can not remember who wrote it or where it was published tough.

QUOTE: All of the crap in the bottom of the tank floats around when they are filling it up and you can pump that stuff into your car.

In addition to what Chris stated, you can also get air into the fuel line ...which translates into getting air into your gas tank (but being charged for fuel). Finally, the fuel that has been sitting about the bottom of the service stations' tank has lost octane, and is usually between 90-91 (east coast) when it actually hits your tank.
