apparantly my truck doesnt like hess gas, thats twice in two weeks i got 93 octane at hess and my engine light came on, hooked up a tech 2 and was reading it was running rich, i thought this was strange , this happen to anyone else???????????????????????
i found out that shell gas is not good to run. there "NEW" clean tech fuel or what ever it is has nitrogen in it and it burns super hot and burns the carbon out. it also cause detonation.
I structly run shell or chevron with out any problems..do not buy gas at places like sams club..they are alot cheaper but the gas is crap
Chevron or Shell seems to work great for me too. You never know where to go to get good gas these days, seems like there all junk.

i always fill up with premium from walmart or other grocer's, then i pour in a 2 dollar bottle of Oreilly's Octane Booster. With that combination, my truck runs great. I put regular in the tank once when i first bought my truck and it got 16 MPG on the Highway, ran it almost dry and filled it up with premium next and gas milage was up to 22mpg. Not sure exactly what caused such a jump, but i'm pretty sure most newer vehicles are optimied for premium anyways
+1 specially in this townQuote:

in jersey we only have bp, hess, exxon,shell, and some small mom and pop places that i would never go to, i never fill more than a quarter to a half a tank , to keep weight off the truck and keep gas mileage up when my pedal is not threw my grill. besides we got gas stations every quarter mile so i can drive to work and back with my gas light on. hahaha
Isnt HESS a grocery chain? I'm unfamiliar with them..Thats why I mentioned sams or walmartQuote:

I always fill up at the Hess in Rochester across the street from school before I come home. I've been using the same station for almost two years now and never had a problem. If I cant run Hess, I run Mobil, or KwikFill (all USA fuel!) if they have 93. Maybe you got a bad batch or there was something that contaminated it at the refinery or station?:confused:
PS - Sorry to thread jack but never under any circumstances buy fuel at a citgo station, they are owned by commies!!!!
When I was down in New York last summer I filled my truck with Hess. It ran like total poo
Well.... these are all reasons I love Texaco :)
it all comes from the same dirka dirk country haha
