Question Fuel Choices
I just got my 2008 IS350 Monday and I'm really pleased. I do have a question regarding fuel brands, Union, Chevron, shell, ect. What does everyone prefer to use and why. Thanks

The search function is a wonderful thing. Gas is common topic, I'd reccommend doing a search in the future before posting.

IMO they are all the same! I can fill up at any place and my car gets the same mileage and performance. I only keep my cars for 3 years so who knows how it is in the long haul??

As long as you don't get Arco if you're a californian. BP(same company) in the mnidwest and like the east coast is good though for some reason..so just stay away from Arco. Personally I fill at ONLY Chevrons.

If you use Shell V-Power (top tier), they offer a free platinum MC that gives back 5%. That’s approx 20 cents a gallon cheaper.
