Default Shell gasoline

Just a warning about Shell gas in Baltimore area, we've had several car with contaminated (water?) fuel that where pumped at Shell gas stations. There was also an article in the local paper about it.

Shell has improved a lot from what is used to be. Though in Mexico, I do not have any choice but Pemex, I highly value Chevron and its Techron component in the U.S.

Gas here sucks and costs 1.5 times the prices in the U.S. and it does come in liters. I go every six months up to Lexus of San Antonio for a service check. Right now we have Toyota dealers, but do no expect Lexus until February 2004.
