Preferred Gas Station and Octane?
I was wondering what everyone else run's in their trucks. The gas cap in my 2006 recommends BP, but I find that Shell and BP run best IMO. What about you guys/gals?

Re: Preferred Gas Station and Octane?
Any gas station that doesnt offer 10% ethanol, but they are harder to find. In Canada, I like Petro, Mr. Gas and ultramar is pretty good. I just 87 Oct in mine, I dont want to pay $1.45 a liter for a higher octane.

Re: Preferred Gas Station and Octane?
I have a local station called GetGo owned by a supermarket chain they give fuel perks .10 off a gal. for every $50.00 you spend and that includes retailer gift cards plus around the holidays they offer bonus .20 off those cards,it really ads up.87 octane is all you need for a stock engine anything else your just wasting your money.

Re: Preferred Gas Station and Octane?
X2 on the 10% Ethanol B.S. I e-mailed some gas companies here in Canada a couple of years ago and most of them indicated that their premium gas didn't include any ethanol. Shell was really against using it at all, so it is possible to get Ethanol-free 87 octane from Shell at some stations. (no sticker on pump=no ethanol)
So thats what I use - 87 octane ethanol-free Shell gas from my local station.

Re: Preferred Gas Station and Octane?
I do run once a month a tank of mid-grade to help clear out any build up in the lines or injectors. IDK if it actually works but it gives me a little piece of mind. Plus I feel it idles and warms up better.

Re: Preferred Gas Station and Octane?
I use QuikTrip or Costco, and I run 87, the Arco gas here in Arizona when I fill up I get about 50 miles less to the tank than anywhere else...
