What brand of gas do you use?
Just curious what everyone is putting in their subarus. I always use shell or sunoco, 93 octane of course. People have told me shell gas has the highest amount of detergents, thus keeping everything inside cleaner.

I've mainly used BP/Amoco 93 or Sunoco 93 because of convenience and price, but I might switch to Shell VPower after some comments on bitog about the high detergents that you mention.

Mobil 93. Still 100% gas, no 10% ethanol blend here yet. Mobil and shell fuels come from the same tank farm where I live in Columbus,OH. My wife puts in premium, but buys fuel wherever it is cheaper when she uses my car on business trips.

Fuel
I always thought since all fuel basically comes from the same place they are all the same however after some open source tuning and hours and hours of logging and interpreting, shell 93 is by far the best as far as 93 goes here in fl. I get knock in the 4-5 count range with any other fuel but as soon as shell makes its way into the tank bam knock is virtually gone. Just my .02

BP/Amoco 93. No good reason for using it, just always have.
But, I've noticed that using the local Ingles supermarket gas (93) seems the same as BP (fuel consumption/performance), so I'm starting to think saving 10 cents a gallon with no adverse effects is the way to go. |

I failed to mention that I have no idea where the supermarket gas comes from. But it seems fine.

Personally, I used the cheap stuff when it was a dime to a quarter a gallon less and added RLI's Bio-Plus (or LubeControl's FP-Plus). That was much less expensive overall and as good or better than the best brand name stuff. There's not that kind of spread where I live now, so it's about a wash on price. |

Shell, Mobil, Citgo, anything that actually has 93-octane. I avoid BP like the plague though.
