What Kinda Gas Are You Putting In Your Titan

CAL-CHRIS · 01-31-2005, 03:12 PM

I just purchased my Titan last week and am wondering if any one recomends gas. For instance I live in so cal and we have arco (cheapest), shell, mobil, 76 and so on. My question is does it make a difference on the brand?

Tend to use Shell or Exxon mainly, with the occasional Chevron thrown in. But one thing my service advisor suggested is to stay away from the lower level, i.e. grocery, Wal-Mart/Costco, Racetrack, stations. Granted yeah it might be the same gas, but honestly when I had my Tundra and I'd put in gas from the grocery, it seemed to run a little different than if I went to Exxon or Shell. To each their own I guess

I haven't been able to tell a lot of difference in gas mileage between using Shell, Exxon, Diamond Shamrock, and Chevron in my neck of the woods. Don't have ARCO here, but would guess it's gonna be like the others. I use regular unleaded- crap, that's expensive enough!

What Grade are you putting in regular 87 or 91?

Cheapest I can find-- 87 octane.

I stick strictly to 93 octane (better performance..I've used both). I always use a local Shell station but only for convenience. I tend to believe most are the same but I'd stick to one with the best turn-around. A busy station is less likely to be serving stale gas and probably keep up with pump maint.

Costco, regular.

Gasoline is a comodity, traded between all of the retailers. Some have additives which may help, may not, probably not that much. Consistency probably also variable from store to store.

I am at high altitude over 5000' so Im using regular 85 octane. Seems to make no difference.

Quicktrip 87 octane.

Hell yeah, same stuff I have used in every car I have owned, seems to work better than grocery store gas, but maybe its just my Imagination

I have used 87 octane from a number of sources.

Exxon, Shell, Chevron, Fina, Conoco, Texaco, WalMart

Mainly Exxon around home.
