Shell vs bp
 

which gas do you use for your cars for example my friend got a bmw he never uses bp and all bmw drivers i know only use shell and i know its what gas your car is used to:rolleyes:
but what is the best for acura

See BP on the list?:

Shell with V-Power rocks.

:shrug:

I guess i should stop using BP :(

my budy got bmw he used bp once he got check engine light i heard from many people who have bmw,s bp gas messes up fuel filter on those cars

I have been using BP now for many years and no problems. I think shell just puts more money to marketing cause I see alot more shell ads then BP.

ever try shell?:toocool:

BP (Amoco) FTMFW!!!

That site looks like a site from another country or sum shyt...

Just put in exxon 93 a couple days ago(normally run shell) and today I threw a cel with no info.........:annoyed:

whoa... thats weird Percy

switch bak 2 shell then

iono much bout exxon i think its a lil fishy tho

.....


BP obviously does not meet the standard on all grades or at all locations. Maybe their premium octane detergent package is just fine and they fall short elsewhere. :dunno:

What I do know is that my car seems to run better on Shell 93.

def gonna run shell from now on, didn't want to put exxon in anyway but it was convenience. It's weird cuz the cel is on but the navi display's nothing but the two cat code's I threw last year.:dunno:

bp all day

I use Sunoco most of the time

Shell FTW.

I actually feel like I have less power when I use Shell, and more power when I use BP. I'm not even trying to be biased. When I was able to use Chevron for a short while in Miami, that was the best out of all three IMO, I could actually feel the idling of the car and pickup alot smoother with Chevron. I would definitely put Chevron at the top.

That list to me just seems like you pay to play, kind of like buying an ad in the newspaper, so I'm not going to judge based on what someone else tells me, just fill ur ride up and you be the judge.

Bp

Conoco? isn't that freaking Arco?!

oh ^ and Chevron, always...

got no Chevron where i live

Shell because BP owns Arco

I use Shell but I was out of town a few weeks ago, I stopped at an Exxon and the sign outside had the 3 prices for the 3 different grades, ok, fine so I went in and gave the dude $30. I come back out to pump and the pump said 87 octane on all of the nozzles, I was a bit confused :shrug: I went back inside and asked the dude about it he was like "I dunno" and he didn't speak english very well. Needless to say I asked for my $ back and found another station.

I am not too picky about what station I go to but I always use premium.

Chevron is my first choice - car definitely seems to run better with it. My 2nd choice is Shell. Fortunately the FL Keys where I live seem to have plenty of both available.

Best throttle response I've experienced with this car, and the only Top Tier brand available in the NYC area.

First hand knowledge
 

I live in North East Ohio and my brother in law works for Marathon Oil. The closest oil refinery other than Marathon Oil which is right in town (Canton, Ohio) would be the BP Plant in Toledo Ohio which is a 3 hour drive in the NW corner of the state. So, to save on transportation costs, ALL companies in the area regardless of brand have been using Marathon's gas. Its just more economically feasable. So all in all, no doubt there IS a difference in the quality of gasoline from different suppliers but to all the people talking about which gas is better on a day to day basis.... you might not even know what your really getting! :tomato:

chill dude, the discussion isnt about the price, its about the quality.

I hear from many professional motorheads all the time on this topic. They state BP Premium fuel is the best you can get off the rack. Personally...I use Marathon most of the time due to convenience and Shell otherwise as BP pissed me off one time. Those same guys say Shell gas has a tendency to produce carbon residue more than some other brands....not sure of the validity of the statement though.

Same here.....

Costco mostly or if I am low what ever is available. I just throw in a jug of cleaner every 10K miles & have never had a fuel problem in any car i have owned.

BTW on the guys who said BP plugs up the fuel filter on BMW, I have no experience of this happing in 60K miles & numerous tanks of BP in my 330Ci.

Shell V-Power

Never used shell, Shells always few cents expensive than mobil/exxon or bp. I've been using exxon/mobil for over 5yrs and recently i've been using bp. I noticed bp eats up more gas than mobil. Perhaps its just me. Power wise, they seem identical. Hardly noticable

i stoped using bp for shell due to people on this site and when i left bp i also felt the loss in power..... bp all day

I buy whatever is most convenient that is not a total no-name brand. Usually I use Sunoco because the one near Ms1995hoo's place is typically a good 12¢ a gallon cheaper for premium than the Shell and Exxon that are half a mile away. Never had any problem at all with the Sunoco, and I usually buy 91 octane there instead of 93 simply because it's 2¢ a gallon cheaper than 93 and I've never had a problem with it.

Within the past month I've bought Valero 93 once ($1.859 a gallon!) and Sheetz 93 once and had no problem with the way the car ran on either of those. I used a fair amount of Irving 93 this summer in Nova Scotia and it seemed fine as well.

I've also used Liberty 93 a couple of times based on comments from friends that the gas was fine and I didn't have any problems. I had been suspicious because it was substantially cheaper than the nearby Shell and BP stations.

I don't usually use BP simply because the two BPs closest to my house are more expensive than the other stations in the area.

bp

is this a list for nationwide or just a specific state because i only saw shell on there as a recognizable station.... i live in NY and NEVERRRRRRRR seen half those names:tomato:

V power for ever

had never put bp in my TL screw that

+2 :tomato:

BP and Shell are both good.
Stop reading bullshit websites.

I use BP, Exxon, Shell. BP when in NY, Exxon/Shell in NJ... and only at the busiest stations for fresher content.
