BEST GAS BRAND!

What brand gas do you THINK works best in your NOMAD! Why??
Chevron here.

Shell works for me. Cuts down on the pings and rattling noise

Did you know that gasoline is traded on the CBOE Chicago board options exchange and is a comodity like mild, corn, soybeans? all the gas is refined and sold to all.

dogdoc · 11-05-2007, 06:59 PM

your point is?

Chevron with Techron here. Runs and starts better. Better MPG. And is faster that BD/DB's.

I AGREE NICO, CHEVRON WITH TECHRON HERE IN TEXAS TOO, MUCH FASTER THAN THOSE GREEN WEINIES.

basco · 11-05-2007, 07:22 PM

I use just about all brands and haven't had any trouble with pinging or knocking

Ralph's , Albertson's, Stator Brothers, WalMart don't own their own brands of cows.

Arco, Shell, Texaco all buy the oil on the open market and the refineries sell it to the highest bidder. No such think as brand exclusive formula. Sort of like saying my milk comes from WalMart Cows...... no it don't....

Commodity: an item that is undifferenciable from any other of its type. Throw sweet yellow corn into a barrel and all the canners from either S&W to Del Monte to whoever buy from the exact same source.......... gas is the same..... sorry, no brand "outranks the other". Now, some store their gas in unclean underground container that may contaminate the gas, but as delivered to the station, all the same. 91 Octane delivered to shell is the same 91 octane delivered to Arco.

No worries, believe anything you like. The petroleum companies won't complain....

Wonder if this would work????

blowndodge · 11-05-2007, 07:54 PM

That there is a reliable source!

vulcanvixen · 11-05-2007, 07:58 PM

Thank you D-Biddy......certainly an economical source if nothing else.......

Any ole High Octane will do.....

the cheapest gas is the best brand.

A friend of mine got talking to the tank driver for chevron as he was filling up and the trucker told him never to buy premium at chevron. He said the mid grade and the premium are the exact same thing since it is a minumum octane rating. If you buy the premuim you are just paying more for the same stuff you would get if you paid for the mid grade. He said they only haul deisel, regular and premium and the premium goes in the midgrade and premium under ground tank. Don't know if he's full of crap but this is what he told me :-/

WM, that's worth a try then. I use Chevron and QT gas. There is a website that talks about TopTier gas and those along with Shell and I believe Texaco are considered some of the best.

Remember boys all gas is the same!
