What kind of fuel do you use?
I'm still on my first tank of gas for my C55 and I've always used Chevon fuel. Anyone have any recommendations on Chevron or one they feel is best for engines?

Thanks!
Nick

Any of the "major" brands. Mobil, Sunoco, Exxon, etc. Highest octane I can find. I won't use "no name" brands. There's probably nothing wrong with it, but that's just me.

Thanks for the feed back!

A friend of mine owned a Bimmer and would use Safeway gas!!! That's a grocery store here in CA and I told her she was nuts!

yeah, I only use the name brand ones here in Cali...Chevron, Shell, Mobil...etc...I stay away from Arco, Sam's Club gas..etc.....for all we know they could all be from coming from the same refinery and just sold under different retailers w/ a few adding cleaning additives.... but for me it's a psychological thing... it's like buying "store brand" vs. "name brand" soda and such....somehow knowing that it's a brand name makes it tastes better/different

whichever way you go, just make sure it's 91 octane!
