I switched to Exxon across the street one day because i was on that side of the road and noticed in that fill up my mpg spiked 2-3 mpg. Never went back to Valero and my mpg stayed at the new mpg. Guess there was a reason it is a "discounted" gas station, shitty gas.

There's two types of gas I use. 80% of the time its the V-power. The other is a convenience store with guaranteed gas. Quik Trip, a DFW jewel. its guaranteed discount gas... If you've never had the pleasure of entering a Quik Trip? You need to if ever passing thru tx or neighboring states.

SHELL & Quicktrip are my favorite.

I usually get about 460 Miles on a tank of Shell & about 420 with Quicktrip.

Same driving but quicktrip saves me 7 bucks on a tank
