Default Does It Matter Where I Get Gas From?

Some gas stations have cheaper prices then brand names. So does it matter?

Not to me, cheaper wins.

I have heard that some gas stations have bad quality gas and have other chemicals. And also don't get gas where there is a big truck

Not to pressure you, but I only go to Shell and BP. I stray from Caseys, Thortons, Speedway, Becks since theyre cheapest gas is 89 with 10% ethanol, and the 87 doesnt have ethanol added.

Whatever floats your boat is all I gotta say. Its your choice, not mine.

Will it effect my car's performance in anyway?

there have been some cases of cars running poorly with ethanol gas.

i personally get mine from a local place that doesnt add ethanol.

Where do you go for that? Almost all gas stations around my area use 10% ethanol. ><'

Gas companies use different detergents on their gas. There was a website where it explains the difference between namebrand and generic gas. I just use Shell now.

Use whatever you think you can afford . I use whatever place has the cleanest rest facilities and has the freshest coffee and Hot Dogs...no shrivilled up Hot Dogs for me in my Gas Station .
