What’s up guys I was thinking today on how I only use Exxon/Mobil on my car. I don’t know why but ever since I had my first car that’s all I use, do any of you do the same thing or I just weird???

I converted to Exxon from Shell recently. Apparently a lot people claim they get better performance from Exxon fuel...So I figured why not

Given today's prices, I use what ever is cheapest. J/K


I primarily use Shell, but will use Mobil or 76 if not near a Shell.

Shell, Exxon, Chevron, Texaco...its all the same damn thing

always 93 and never at a shady gas station (even though, again, its all coming from the same damn place, but it helps me sleep better at night)

I always hit up my local 7-11 and put in 14 gallons of the cheap stuff. My car loves the 10% ethanol they put in there to "water" it down.

Chevron is my #1 choice with Shell v-power as a close 2nd.

Those are pretty much the only two I will use unless I am in a situation where I have no choices (like driving through West Texas or some long desolate stretch on a road trip).

The techron helps keep the M3 fuel sensor clean (if you have an E36 M3, you know what I am talking about).

I used to use Chevron, but got a Shell Mastercard so now I use Shell.
