exxon/mobil vs chevron
 
which you think is the better gas? i have both gas cards and wanna get rid of one :help:

streetglower 05-14-2005 02:48 PM

I would ditch the exxon card and stick with cheveron gas because cheveron uses techron which is considered one of the best products to clean engine deposits. They use a small amount, but it will aid in less deposits in the engine.

gearbox 05-14-2005 05:09 PM

i always use mobil gas. techron is garbage anyway, even the concentrated stuff.

diablo69 05-14-2005 05:18 PM

hmmm 1-1 i added a poll, wonder which i'll keep

S2000man01 05-14-2005 05:56 PM

mobil is better IMO. but i've never researched it all that much. lol

jeffsta17 05-14-2005 07:02 PM

Chevron, everytime I fill up somewhere else it feels sluggish, but thats just on a butt dyno

zachgeyer 05-15-2005 12:22 AM

agreed.

Yakkolio 05-15-2005 05:21 PM

chevron and shell are part of top tier...mobil/exxon isn't i believe

gearbox 05-15-2005 07:55 PM

i tried shell gas once (same octane) and the car ran like crap. Went back to mobil and no probs.

NaSh123 05-15-2005 09:28 PM

maybe becuz your car got used to chevron mobile gearbox....but what do the rest of you think about chevron / shell they are both the same price in my area 2.47 per gallon...

azn2k1civic 05-20-2005 05:44 PM

i use chevron

Ellocodetroit 05-20-2005 07:30 PM

gas is gas there all the same, go with the one that has more stations in your area or whichever one is more convenient for you.

crazyasian 05-20-2005 10:52 PM

i just fill up at bp or w.e place is cheap but prefer shell,exxon,mobile,and bp(believe its mobile or exxon now)

LowSky 05-20-2005 11:01 PM

i use mobil because there is 15 stations on the same road within 7 miles two of which are across the street from one another

badodyssey 06-01-2005 07:46 AM

I just avoid BP at all costs :)

2K1Civic17"Gabe 06-07-2005 12:02 PM

I used to use Chevron, now I use Mobil or Shell.

I like Shell, but I get V-POWER in my premium, hehe. that makes up for my lack of vtech y'o VPOWER!



I like all those, but I would keep Mobil over Chevron. Mobil is cheaper, and its good gas.

49ers 06-19-2005 11:10 AM

Tryed the other guys, but Chevron Plus is recommended by old timer honda racers and dealers ETC. I'm sticking with Chevron PLUS later....

aznboysrfr 07-10-2005 11:31 AM

agreed ... I would choose chevron since it is considered a top tier gas and mobil isn't, afaik

gearbox 07-10-2005 11:41 AM

or use fp60 and you don't have to worry about top tier. Its not that great of a thing anyways. They raised detergent levels, but its still low enough to build carbon.

Honda_trilogy 07-27-2005 09:33 AM

I'm still sore at Exxon because they never cleaned up their oil spill in Alaska. But I still buy their gas on occasion.

If you're a tree hugger, throw out the Exxon card.

I my self prefer Sunoco. There aren't many chevrons in my area, so I really can’t comment on them.

So diablo69...

Which card gives you discounts for buying gas?

Which card gives you allows you to use it for auto related services at any service station?

Which of those cards allows you to buy gas, no matter where you buy the gas?

Would getting a low limit credit card, that offers discounts on gas, no matter where you buy that gas and the ability to use it for auto related repair emergencies, be of more help than a gas only card? No not selling a card, just giving you something to think about as an option.

Chevron if you just have to keep a gas only card...

hmm...seem where you guy live there is alot of moblie gas station around...i dont see one at all in my city (san francisco)...i usually use 76. and i would like to use chevron, but its super expensive here. $2.89 for techron! maybe i'll use plus since some guy on here said its good.

same here but its $2.99 for techron here and no moblie gas either

dalaw 08-25-2005 02:17 AM

I use costco, 76, chevron, shell, or mobil only, whatever is cheaper (no arco, or other small brands though). I cant tell a difference between them.

slicksivik 08-25-2005 03:42 AM

i use whatever wawa uses.

wa7wa7 08-27-2005 08:06 PM

HONDA GAD FOR SURE :tup:

02cvcEX 08-27-2005 08:57 PM

<3 chevron $2.59 octane 87

xRiCeBoYx 08-27-2005 09:29 PM

hooray for chevron.. :rockon:

ctx66 08-28-2005 11:12 AM

id go with chevron since theyre top tier certified and exxon/mobil isnt, even though they claim that they probably exceed top tier standards.
