Which gas to you prefer/gives you better perfomance?
I figure I'd post here since other states/areas sometimes don't have the name gas stations.
BP
Mobil
Shell
no-name brand (Thortons, Clark, etc...)
I've done 2 consecutive fill ups with Shell and BP and only 1 so far with Mobil. So far, BP wins with Shell coming in for a close second. I don't get as much pick up or as good of gas mileage with Mobil.
I'm talking for a basic Cooper non-sport.

heh, hardcore gas fanatics also only go to gas stations where there are separate hoses for each grade of fuel so you don't get ~1gal of other type in the hose leftover from the previous person

Changes in weather temperature have more of a significant impact to my "seat of the pants horsepower detector" than gasoline from a different gas station. I've never noticed a difference pulling out of a gas station with a new tank of Shell gasoline as opposed to when I pulled in a few minutes prior when I had been burning Citgo gasoline, for example. But if the next day or evening is 20 degrees warmer, it does certainly feel like the car is more sluggish...

What is the most you have put in
I just filled up with 14.3 gallons, I would have gone further, but my copilot was starting to get hysterical and it cost me 20 cents a gallon! So my JCW order just got pushed back a little further.
Will the little gas pump start blinking just before the tank goes dry?
