super-stormtrooper,

it has been here(@ GS) that altho all gas is the same, shell and chevron have the highest quality additives. that said, i've tested all the stations in my area, concluding that shell gives my car the best FE.

exxon/mobile is boycotted by many here for their, let's say, shenanigans to be polite.

well, what is a consumer to do? @ least we're using less of it(gas/oil).

BTW, cool name/avatar. i love the star wars movies.
