This past year I have started using the new Shell gas, which advertises better mpg, and I really get much better mileage. 25 vs 21 on conventional gas (or around there). Just want y'alls' thoughts

Here is a pretty cool unknown fact...***caution only *** This may make you upset and cause you to not care where you buy your fuel
This is a little unknown fact that you are probly getting fuel from the same refinery. Yes that means if you buy fuel from a Chevron it really could be from Texaco etc. To understand this you really need to know how companies like the Former Enron worked. They had a like three lines running from Houston area : Nothren ( up to IL I think), Florida, L.A (Cali). Now the way it works for example is: Texaco pulls up to Enron pump in Houston and says I would like to send 1000gl to Cali well Eron says ok .25 a gl. So Texaco pumps in 1000gls and at that point a Texaco truck in Cali can begin pumping out 1000gl of fuel. (See the lines always has fuel in it) So when you pull up to a refinery you can see a Chevron and Fina truck at a Texaco refinery filling up there trucks I've seen this to many times since I live down the road from the one who supplies fuel from Big springs, Tx to El Paso. Anyways the main thing that is required for these comapnies to use lines like Enrons other than paying is to may sure the fuel meats the grade they say there putting in. Now each company can put in more additives before delivering it to a gas station which makes it a hair different but most just put the minimun requirement from the government. Now why I don't like ma & pa stations is that some have sliped through the crack of updating there tanks and may have trash etc in them. Sounds silly but o well

Anyways, I usually get it from a place that looks trustworthy. Meaning they maintain their equipment.

I also get 20-30 miles per tank more on it.
It is just Sunoco.
