What station do you fuel up at?
« on: February 21, 2014, 07:49:45 AM »
Since we have a mpg thread going, we need everyones stations they fill up at.

If I fill up at exxon in naches, I average 14 mpg-secondary fueling station

Conoco on fruitvale in yakima 17.5 mpg-primary fueling station

Fred meyers 19-very rarely go there.

I would love to go to freds but their gas handles will not stay in the tank. They are basically flying bombs. I have seen so many popping out while people are getting gas it isnt even funny.

I cannot believe how much my mpg's vary at gas stations. It seems like the cheaper gas, 5th better mileage I get.

76 (26.2mpg) is my first choice with Chevron (25.7mpg) a close second. Priority goes to ethanol free (hard to find) and mpg achieved.

At the bottom of the list is Maverick. I loose 7-8mpg (dropping into the 17-18mpg range) when I fill up at Maverick.

It all varies a little bit but these are my latest hand calculations. Don't know when I got in the habit of hand calculating every tank, but it's a disease and I can't stop.  :chuckle: I chalk up the difference between 76 and Chevron to driving conditions. But it always seems to come out favoring 76 by a hair.

Right now I get diesel at Fred Meyer, my toys get non ethanol fuel from a little place in Auburn.
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first!

Almost always Fred Meyer or Safeway. FM in Sumner can be a PITA to get into because it's always busy but I can usually haul one of my diesels in there at the off hours.

If there wasn't such a discrepancy in the amount of mpg I get from different stations I would be on board with this. As it is, I save a lot more money by paying the higher price up front. If your vehicle doesn't discriminate, that's awesome. Always nice to have more options.  :tup:

Exactly
You can pay at the pump a little at the time or pay it all at once in repairs.

It doesn't seem to matter where I pump my gas, I get the same mileage per tank. Mostly it's Fred Meyer because of the small savings, but AMPM and/or Chevron are super close. Just depends on how much of a hurry I'm in and if I feel like paying 30 cents more.

Cenex in Chehalis, right off the freeway. Gas Ethanol free and Premium diesel. Always burn Top Tier gas wouldn't even think about putting am/pm in my car or truck or boat or lawn mower seen the effects of it.
