since I have to fill my tank about every 4 trips to work.
I work in surrey so I commute about 120k/day.
I have started keeping track of the millage.
now I am comparing gas stations with the milage I am getting.
so far I am getting interesting results.
from petrocan can I drive about 495Km for about 36 litres, 7.2 lit/100km (13.9km/lt)
now, cause of the blackout I had to get Gas at Shell,
the first tank lasted, 485Km for 32litres, 6.6 lit/100km (15.2KM/lt)
thats roughly an 9% savings going to shell!! over petrocan.
now that shell gas was not pure shell gas, I still had some petrolcan in the tank from the last fill, so I am interested in tomorrows millage.
now there is also an adverse effect to using the shell gas. I notice the car has less power when using shell gas. I expected this though, cause of the performance vs endurance. do not go hand in hand. you have to give up some power to get a better millage.
for the next tank I am going to try out Chevron. and see.

It's about time you posted!!
I think this is a very worthwhile experiment!! I wonder if it varies for different vehilcle??
well todays fill up
was 510Km @ 36 L ~= 7.0 lt/100km
(14.2KM/L) not as drastic, but still an increase in effecincy.
and I could here the cheveron pump seemed to fill higher, I could see gas, I don't normaly get to see the gas when I fill up.
oops,I used only 33 lt, I spent $36
therefore,6.5lt/100k (15.5 k/L)
Chevron will give you better bang for you buck...it is the only gas we get!
I think you may just be a little biased...just mabey....
well I am getting more bang over shell, but we will see how far that gas will take me.
LOL...i work there..i have heard some horror stories of people using husky...so after that i tend to side with chevron...
