Just changed out my filter at 33,000. I guess shell/sunoco gas must be okay cause there wasnt any gunk that came out. I blew through the new one then the old one and the old one was just slightly harder to blow through than the new one. Ill be fillin the tank probably tonight so Ill post back up when i get some mpg numbers.

It doesn't matter what gas you use there is always trash in it.

I know your right but for some reason paying that extra few cents for the better brand makes me feel better. haha
