What gas station do you choose for your scooter?  By  kxj5906 (Read 1,928 times)

Chevron with Techron works well you feel a difference in the way the engine runs .
I like BP shell and mobil . They have been playing with the gas .

I try to fill up at bp or shell but most the time if my gas is real low I go to the closest station

Hey Larry, did they tell you they "test the water/Ethanol % more often" or just read it in their advertisements. Its the regulators that test the gas at the stations and they put a stamp on the pumps when it was tested. Anything most of the products you buy doesn't matter what, they all will tote theirs is better than the other's so you have to take a lot of what they tote with a grain of salt.

Disclosure--my big bro works for Shell. That said, he told me any company that refines their own oil will be superior to the non-refiners. Stations like Shell, BP, etc. As opposed to Conoco/Phillips.

Now then, the Shell guy who came into my store the other week told me that QT and such buy their gas from the secondary market. Meaning Shell/BP/etc make gas for their own stations, then make more gas for the secondary. So one week QT might have Shell gas, the next BP. He also said if QT has a pump with 0% crapanol, then absolutely go there with my '92 Taurus and fill him every time with pure aka "clean" gas.

Before the new QT opened with E0, I learned that gas is NOT gas. With Shell or BP in the car's belly, he'd average about 18-20 mpg. With Conoco/Phillips, he got 12 mpg every single tank.

As for my scoot, I used BP 'cause the one going home had separate hoses for each grade. They don't anymore. But then I haven't driven my scoot since pulling a back muscle (and trying very hard to avoid another workman's comp claim!) so at the moment that's moot. I'd like to find another good (read Shell or BP) station with separate hoses.

My 150 seems to burn anything quite happily. I usually go name brand unless I'm desperate which happens sometimes with a 1 gallon tank.... My biggest complaint is I have to bend over to fill the damn thing (tank in the floor), It's the one thing I dislike about the 150.

Hey Larry,
They have no choice but to say its the best in the whole wide world if they still want to have a job there.

I try to use the nonethanol stations but they are across town . Here is a directory for some pure-gas.org/

I also use Shell but mostly I go to Quick Trip sinbce its close by and I like to get a frozen drink or tea from them .

I used to use AMOCO but the quality is not like it used to be .

I prefer stations where each grade has its own hose .

My lil scoot I have to put in gas with bursts since that piece it the neck makes it splash back on newer pups that have higher pressure than many older ones . I would not use a Coke bottle as gas will dissolve particles and clog up the jets . I have thought about taking some tip snips and cutting out that piece which is in the way
