i try to stick with bp gas. mileage and performance of 3 cars is great. vette gets about 26-28 mpg on trips, the prius is ridiculous at usually 45-46 and the navigator, well, its a navigator 16-17.

Just fine... Had beans for dinner last night. Thank you for asking.

I've run Chevron, and only Chevron, since I bought this car and have had no problems.

But then again, I'm not in the northeast.....For good reason!!!
