Same here, its an M20; I dump whatever I can find, Shell seems to last longer but I can be imagining it, doesn't offset the low cost of Costco gas anyways.  I just tell myself I get the engine revs high enough to blow out whatever deposits are forming.  The cars I can't afford to fix gets the better stuff.

 I try to only buy Shell/Chevron. For a while I was buying Arco gas and my car was running like shit. I switched to Chevron 87 before I bought the chip and it was running better than it did on Arco premium. After I ordered my chip I cycled in Chevron 91 and it's been running great ever since.

 the conoco phillips refinery here fucked up a bunch of peoples cars.. peoples engines literally were dying within a day or so of filling up from the gas stations they serve (like costco). They ended up having to shell out some $$$ to replace a bunch of engines.

 k. Well I thought I'd raise the awareness on this subject. Also, that's still not a topic pertaining to top tier gas; and I never asked a question, so I don't know what you're referring to. If it really bothers you that much, ignore this topic. It's not like I didn't apologize for a duplicate topic in my original post'91 318iS

 If you want the good stuff for the M then visit VP Fuel in Pacific Beach (Mission Blvd) for 100 octane. When I splurged in the M it ran like it was on crack.i didnt really give a shit about what went into the e30, arco/bp, costco, locals. but the m5 really runs better on chevron/shell/76/top tier gas. before the rebuild, it used to ping like a bitch if i put cheap premium in it. so i said fuck it and went for the $4.95/gal stuff.sigpicComment
