I only use 93 in my Lambo but does it matter where you buy gas? I have a hellcat and others tell me to just use Shell stations.

Interesting about seeing gas trucks. I didn’t know that.Agree, most of the major companies are fine. Things I avoid are the old gas stations just not sure if their holding tanks predate the Declaration of Independence and don't want all that potential tank sediment that has accumulated over the years. One other thing, I if I see a gas truck resupplying I wait for another day or move on to another station since concerned that the turbulence can put sediment in the gas and find it's way to pumps that are in use/active. 93 Octane is what I find and use in Texas.⛽
Did you e er go to a station and it takes forever to pump? That’s a clogged filter and demonstrates a lack of maintenance on the part of the retailer. Pump filters are pricey and a PITA to replace.Agree, filters yes, barriers no there clearly has to be flow..................I prefer to wait.
I've heard the "Top Tier" label is a mark of quality. Near me thats Costco and Valero stations.Mmmmmm, lots of rumors here. I own a petroleum station, so I know a thing or two about gas.
Yes, in fact I have, though it's rare and come to think of it..............generally when the wife and I are on one of our road trips wasn't sure of reason but now I know. Not the best Gas Stations to give repeat business too.Did you e er go to a station and it takes forever to pump?

So much of the car industry is not all that scientific with their methods or reasoning to begin with so I use what I know or believe I know and make a call. Although, I like to be rigorous about my choices truth be told I also am not convinced it makes all that much difference in the end.I have never seen any solid evidence that it makes a big difference.
I think that at one point, it might have made a difference. When I started driving, my father told me never to get gas from small off brand stations. He said they bought the cheapest gas from suppliers. The stuff from the bottom of the tanks. He said when the tanks run low, they sell the gas cheaper because it has a lot of debris in it.So much of the car industry is not all that scientific with their methods or reasoning to begin with so I use what I know or believe I know and make a call.

Probably right, but Chevron has always been good to me.So much of the car industry is not all that scientific with their methods or reasoning to begin with so I use what I know or believe I know and make a call.

That sounds about right to me. Then again this is a hobby so I indulge myself in a little overthink in the pursuit of enjoyment and distraction.In the end, I don't think you will do any harm buying random gas. If you are trying to set a speed record, it might make a difference. I am pretty confident that the quality of gas used during a Lamborghini's lifetime will not be what sends it to the junkyard.
That's funny Russ, though, you and I are guilty of keeping our cars for about 5 milliseconds........how would we know?Probably right, but Chevron has always been good to me.
