Best Gasoline for your Z - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

I got this information from the Ford GT Forum. This is a FYI Only not sure if this has been discussed or not

The base formula for gasoline in most areas is mandated by law. So Shell or Mobile (or any brand) gasoline will vary from area to area. There are still over 100 boutique blends used throughout the USA and the winter formulas are different from the summer formulas. The difference is in the additives and detergents that are blended into that base fuel. The best additive BY FAR is Techron and it is only found in Chevron and Texaco (now owned by Chevron) gasoline's. Mobil, Shell, and the other majors use nitrogen blends that are much less effective. The worst gasoline by far is the raw base gasoline with no additives that is sold by Costco, Sam's Club, and grocery stores. In less than 10,000 miles a ton of carbon will build up on intake and exhaust valves which reduces both power and mileage without quality additives. I am currently a dealer for both Shell and Chevron but I only use Chevron gas in my cars.
