They are not aware of the differences in gas. My dad drove a 03 CTS, sunburnt copper paintjob, on 20"s. He traded that for an Escalade, which will have 22"s very very soon (Im open to opinions on rims people. Im looking at Momos right now). But the point is, he does not know there is a difference between gas. My mom has a brand new v8 4runner, and she gets the cheapest she can find. They figure it is the exact same thing, just a cheaper place. Most wealthy people are not concerned with what gas they put in anyways, because they will be selling the car in 1 year. They always tell me the cheapest places, and Im like, no thanks, Chevron only. QT is apparently the same thing. Wealthy people also like to save money wherever possible. They may blow 100,000 on an SUV, but they still use coupons, shop around (most of the time), and be smart with their money. That is why people can afford nicer things. They are smart with their money. Believe me on this, they dont know the difference most of the time, and they are smart with money

87 will feel better to the pedal. You are wasting a lot of money. Read the manual, it says Unleaded ONLY! Even under your hood should say it?

so im on the way to work and i always drive by "am-pm" gas station and their pretty known but not the best gas station out their if your looking for quality. their gas prices are cheap like arco but the most akward sight came to my mind... at the am-pm gas station, their was a guy in his late 20's with an caddy escalade with fresh kandy orange pearl paint sitting on 22" chrome and spinners. now why the **** is this guy cheaping out on gasoline @ am-pm since he obviously got the money for his other uneccesary items? i can understand the gas prices but if you got money for huge rims, tires, paint, ICE..you definately got to have money for quality gasoline

i pass by am-pm every day and i dont only see escalades, but other various cars that shouldnt belong their imo: bmw m3 (late 90s model), bmw m5 "", older and newer corvettes, mustang cobras, honda s2000s, porsche suv (cheyanne?), bmw x5, porsche boxsters, many many z28/SS camaros and other cars i cant think of right now.


i know im not the only person who spots high end cars that are filling at the cheapo gas stations .. post up some stories
it's called "LAZYNESS" and or "CONVENIENCE" hell i'm lazy too, but most of us don't care if the Gas Station have cheap gas or expensive, if it would cost them not to make a U turn or wait, consumer will tend to go to the cheap place where they don't have to make that extra effort of making a turn or doesn't have the time to wait for less than 5 mins for the light to turn green

but since Day 1 boosted I only put 76 91octane or the 100octane @ 4.30cents per gl and i'm broke
