Farkas Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Perhaps I'm just lucky, or maybe you're a fucking twat who beats off to this shit. Maybe you should try a better gas and compare the two after a couple tanks? I could care less what you run through your car, it's all up to personal preference. Personally, I will never run BP.

Draco-REX Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Sunoco 94 in both of my boosted cars. If I can't get it, I look for big name stations (Shell, Mobil, Exxon.) I haven't had any issues with BP, but I've never regularly used it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clifford Automotive Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I used to always use shell. Now I just use everything but BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casper Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 I had a couple times with BP where I got bad gas...my Evo and SRT-4 would buck and go lean, but then the next tank of Shell would be fine....FUCK BP! Agreed. My last bike had a problem with water in the gas tank. That wrecks havoc on carbs. I always used BP. So I pulled the tank, flushed the fuel lines, cleaned the carbs, replaced the fuel filter, etc. There were actually calcium deposits in the carbs/jets. Put it all back together, fill it up, runs like a champ. Two or three weeks later, same problem. Pull it all apart again, same calcium deposits. Clean it all again, switch to Shell, problem never came back. Fuck BP, especially the one on Tuttle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

81mercury Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 sunoco 94 or 110 in the merc(the little station down the road from work sells 110 so if i know im going to beat on the car i get the extra insurance and crank in some more timing) but the minivan gets filled up wherever the 87 is cheapest in town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL!! it doesn't spark knock on 93 with the timing set at 38 degrees total but it seems to run a little better with almost 42 degrees in it so i always through the 110 in it if im going to turn it up.....108,000 on the motor so its pretty much beat up but i still dont want holes in the pistons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verse Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Apparently You = F'n tard. Verse is 100% right. The refining stages are all the same. Gas is formed after refining the oil and THEN the different companies add their own additives. The question is which company's additives are the best, if they perform different from one company to the next. He just ignored this post b/c he knows I'm right. It's all the same shit. I've torn apart motors that have ran on every type of gas and it's all going to have carbon build up. It doesn't matter what you use. It's all a gimick.

Guest saturn Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Murphy's/WalMart and the Meijer gas stations all get their gas from some South-American oil company (I think it's in Venezuela) I think the BP "water in the gas" is like 60% rumor -- but their gas smells funny and my car seems to run better on the 94 octane from Sunoco or Shell. I only have preference based on octane rating (because of the turbo). my girlfriends car gets GetGO (giant eagle) gas because the fuel perks and she can run on regular. the Shell gas is probably only burning better because of their detergents they shove in the gas. I get my best mileage from random no-name gas stations in the middle of nowhere. one called Sheets in PA gave me 32+ mpg while cruising at 70mph through PA back towards Ohio (it was creepy). everywhere else I'm lucky to get 22mpg. maybe they still had some summer gas left?

All gas is the same, it's just different additives. Exactly so all gas is not the same...they all have different additives. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: A tool is a device, which typically provides an advantage in accomplishing a physical task, or provides an ability that is not naturally available to the user of a tool.

nurkvinny Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 There is the potential for me to have entirely too much fun in this thread, but I haven't surfed porn in 2 weeks. I'll address a couple topics. "Water in gas" - Any modern gas station has automated electronic H20 monitors permanently placed in every tank. If any tank monitoring fails, an alarm is triggered. In the good ol days, owners would manually dip their tanks with an H20-detecting paste that turned pink if any water was present. Sure, they could ignore it if they wanted to... until one of the regular inspections would take place. So, you're thinking, "ah-ha", there could be water in there! Yep, there could be. Then, that water that's mixed into the gas (some of you that ever took 2 or more days worth of chemistry are actually laughing right now) gets sent to each individual nozzle. Ever wonder what is in the inside of the pump you're standing in front of? Among other things, there is a filter. Guess what kind of filter... a water filter. I see that no one has bothered to research why so many people really did/do have issues with BP fuel. Here's another hint. You are best off to select a brand of fuel and stick with it for the long haul. The net products that enter your car at different stations most certainly are not all the same. Oh, and: last time we put bp gas in one of our cars the head gaskets blew 20 miles later drivng down the road That's rock sold proof, right there.

GonneVille Posted January 23, 2008 Report Share Posted January 23, 2008 Oh yeah, gas stations that clean their restrooms on alternate leap years will be making sure their water monitors work and their filters are still good. Sure they do....one day before the inspector comes to check them. All I have to say about BP is: Check who is on their board of directors. Check what they used to do.

hpfiend Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 lol like 95 percent of the list shell 93 or rarely sunoco 94. I used to work in a german import garage in town and whenever there was a vw or bmw that was acting up and they couldn't figure out why it was almost always bp gas. porsche used to put the shell logo on their engine airboxes.. Not saying I would risk losing a fuel pump before putting bp and running it dry but at that point I would put grocery store gas in (in this situation I only would put 2 gallons or so in until I could find a shell or sunoco.

Scotty2Hotty Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Sunoco 93 when I can, but I use Marathon in Powell when I can't get to a Sunoco. (I think the owners are Al Qaeda though, always speaking Arabic.........) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GonneVille Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Do you have information about their board of directors and what they used to do....this could be fun. Sure, most of them were in the state government at the time that Ohio rolled back octane and purity testing. One sponsored the legislation that rewrote all the rules on underground tank construction and venting, which drove all the little mom and pop businesses out. Remember how BPs suddenly popped up everywhere right around 1994? It's because they got the state to drive most of their competitors under with the cost of replacing their tanks. A little single station can't afford to replace their tanks when it costs 100k+, takes a month of having the station closed, and can't be done anyway because there are only a few contractors that are permitted to dig on tanks, and BP had them locked up. BP dumps bad gas in Ohio. We're the only state in the Midwest that doesn't have octane testing. If it doesn't pass in Kentucky, Indiana, or anywhere else, it comes here. But all companies are doing this, BP is just the company that paid off the government to make it possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
