    Which gas station is the best?

    As we mentioned earlier, not all gas stations serve the same gas.

    The reality is that the oil is essentially the same, it’s the additives that each company adds, or doesn’t add, that makes the difference. Each has their own special blend and no one can say for sure which one is the best, although its regarded that Shell and Chevron are the leaders (and also typically the most expensive).

    Top Tier is all about keeping engines clean. As far as fuel economy is concerned, it should perform identically to gasoline with lower levels of detergent, so don’t expect a big efficiency boost.

    From a big-oil perspective Top Tier hasn’t necessarily caught on. Some of the largest players in the industry have adopted it including Shell, Chevron and Conoco, but not all.

    ExxonMobile, the world’s largest oil refiner, is one of the companies onboard with Top Tier. All of their retail gasoline sold in the United States meets the standard, having received formal certification back in 2010.

    Top Tier gasoline must contain more deposit-fighting detergents, it also must be sold at all of a fuel marketer’s stations and across all grades of its gasoline, from 87-octane regular to top-of-the-line premium. Additionally, to earn the seal of approval fuels cannot contain metallic additives, which are potentially harmful to automotive emissions-control systems.

    Simply put, Studzinski said Top Tier gasoline is “a higher level of detergency, which keeps your engine running optimally.”
    Never in U.S. history has the public chosen leadership this malevolent. The moral clarity of their decision is crystalline, particularly knowing how Trump will regard his slim margin as a “mandate” to do his worst. We’ve learned something about America that we didn’t know, or perhaps didn’t believe, and it’ll forever color our individual judgments of who and what we are.

    I'll still fill up occasionally at a Union 76 or Chevron for their gas detergent additives.
    Shell gas at the local station used to fuck up my Jeep's injectors.
    Techron, baby!

    Saw $2.78/gallon in Oregon yesterday and almost fainted.

    Just read a report that AAA thinks as prices might get down into the $1.00 range this year. Not seen since 1999.

    Crazy.

    You need $15 crude to see $1 gas anywhere. It could happen.

    Crude down 5.5% today and gasoline only down 1.5%.

    Low oil prices be good for equity at some point. Pretty solid reversal today. Rates moving up.

    Diesel down to 1.69 at the only Costco with diesel in UT. They have 50 cents on the next cheapest station in SLC.

    its actually a little ridiculous at this point. I average around 1.55 for regular unleaded. Then I am able to purchase $50 gas cards from the local grocer for $40 if you are a frequent shopper which i am. then a competing grocer opened and offerd an additional $10 coupon, so for the last few weeks I have been buying $50 gas cards for Shell, BP or Exxon/Mobil for $30. Which is a 40% reduction so I am paying the equivalent of around .93-.95 per gallon. I have a huge stash of the prepaid cards at this point. Honestly, it is quite ridiculous to be paying so little for gasoline.

    So with society's seriously short term memories, how long until Americans forget all about high fuel prices and we start seeing a huge spike in truck and SUV sales?

    I'm already thinking about another AWD Astro van instead of moving to something more efficient like a Transit Connect for my next camper van.

    So...short.

    I never understood that one either. Ive always driven half ton trucks regardless. But fuel never factored in. I hope people get scorched so I can score a lightly used pre-owned 2015 truck with low miles when gas creeps back up.

    Definitely already seeing it. Started like fall 2014.

    Curious how long it stays low this time around. Nothing in the tea leaves to indicate it going back up anytime soon.

If someone could make a jacket of those three things it would no doubt be the most popular and prized item in all of your closets.

    Still paying $1.10 per litre CDN. That's like $4.40 per Gallon. People getting shafted over here.
