    Gas brand comparison

    I've been using Amoco 89 for the last six months and averaged about 28mpg over this six month period (around 50% highway / 50% city). I was thinking about switching over to Sunoco to see if I could do better. Has anyobdy run Sunoco for a while with any better results?

    I use Chevron 87, or 76 if there's not a Chevron around. MPG is usually around 30-31.

    I use Chevron w/ Techron 91 octane always. I don't care if I have to pay $2.60 a gallon compared to the cheap Arco 91 gas.

    is it true that BP gas kills your fuel system?

    I hope BP isn't bad for your fuel system, because that's all I've been using for the past six months (BP Amoco). From articles that I've read, Amoco is supposed to be one of the cleaner gases and lowest in sulfur. Where did you hear that BP is bad?

    my dad was told by the dealership not to put BP in his BMW a few years ago because it would clog his injectors...........i pretty sure BP has changed their mixture since then.
