Which Gas Brand Do You Use?

CervanteZ · 04-04-2010, 11:10 PM

Supreme w/Techron Chevron.

KingZee · 04-05-2010, 04:00 PM

I prefer Chevron but I've done 76 for a long time because it seems to be the cheapest around my part of town...Chevron seems to be the most expensive?

Chevron Supreme w/ Techron FTMFW

ncheung85 · 04-06-2010, 02:25 AM

Chevron or 76 (91) only filled it up twice lol

vipor · 04-06-2010, 09:33 AM

Why is there no poll?

In Order: Shell, Texaco, Chevron, Exxon. 93 Octane.
Not sure about Exxon, but the first 3 are pretty much the same, if not exactly the same.

I will not use any other brands, especially ones like Race Track or the Tom Thumb gas.

wow so I filled up with Chevron 91 today, and it took $56 to fill up. Ouch! Did some math and my MPG is just under 17. Seems really low b/c I've been driving really conservative breaking in the engine.

But I did get a "nice car!" from a random chick while filling up! FTW!

vipor · 04-07-2010, 10:44 AM

Your MPG will improve through time. I get over 19mpg now very consistently with a fairly heavy foot. I think my last fillup showed 21mpg.

I use GasCubby on my iPhone to keep track.

j.arnaldo · 04-07-2010, 11:21 AM

1. Shell
2. Texaco
Both premium---93-octane juice! Oh, and btw, I get 2 weeks out of a tankfull; I really don't know the MPG I'm gettin'.

Jeffblue · 04-07-2010, 11:54 AM

if you aren't doing highway driving, you are going to get poor gas mileage. on my altima i get 24 mpg on a 2.5L CVT (average) and i don't drive particularly fast. but if you are averaging around 20 you are doing great considering how much more power the Z has.

phelan · 04-07-2010, 12:15 PM

hahaha i'm getting 23 mpg...i'm really feathering the car right now

You still have 93 octane fuel? I'm jealous.

370Zsteve · 04-07-2010, 02:11 PM

91 or 93 octane, no difference in a car that requires 91.

In the last 2 months or so I've filled with (in no particular order), Mobil, Coastal, Sunoco, Citgo.

No difference between any of them, all are 93 octane. The Coastal and Citgo are always cheapest. Thank you Mr Chavez!

Nissan gasoline??? C'mon, dude!

tru_Asiatik · 04-07-2010, 09:34 PM

my mpg has become shitty overtime i averaging 14mpg mostly city if im lucky 17 with some highway

vipor · 04-08-2010, 10:58 AM

Wow that's terrible. Filled up this morning and showed 20.4mpg on my last tank. Got about 360 miles.. I think 335 before the warning even showed. I've been doing a little more aggressive VDC-off driving too, tires are getting slicker heh.
