Chevron is "top tier" gas, well worth it imo. I use Shell (fill up with V-Power), which is also a top tier gas retailer.

Re: Gas: How Much Are You Paying?
We pay $3.60ish for regular around where I work, but where I live it's about $3.25.
My mom got me two $50 Shell gift cards a little while ago for the Eid and after filling up at the Shell near the house, my engine never worked the same and now I have to get rid of the car. Since then I've only used Exxon or Chevron.

Re: Gas: How Much Are You Paying?

How is one good and other bad? I'm still clueless

It really doesn't matter much which gas station you pump at. The only variation is the price. |

Re: Gas: How Much Are You Paying?
It might get better, since the US is looking for alternative fuels. We're working on hydrogen and ethanol, so who knows. After gasoline is no longer the ideal fuel for distance vs. price, the cost will plummet. Especially after hydrogen becomes viable; gas will be the price it was in the 80s.
