    Is all gas the same?

    I know most all gas is the same that gets shipped to the tank farms but happens after that. I know I have had some brands run better then others around here. What's your thoughts?

    QT all the way I say!! They change there ethanol level depending the season. A lot of AMPM locations have a high level of water in there tanks and they don't take care of them. Well thats my thoughts

    Not all places are the same, do not buy your gas from the cheapest place you can out of hoping to save a few pennies. Buy gas from a company that stands behind their product and will make things right if they supply you with crappy gas the destroys your motors. Cheap gas is the worst enemy of a high performance motor...unless you like a car that runs like

    QT is good.

    That has got to be one of the best smells in the world. If only regular pump gas smelled so good I might not be so upset burning it up.

    I used Shell today, it has always has a good reputation and the station by my house has seperate hoses for each octane rating. Otherwise 100 octane Love's is what she gets, and it's never let me down.

    I would say certain gas stations fuel is better than others. You get what you pay for.
