Gas - Cheap or name brand? Octane - 87 or 92?

Tweet

Which is better for your car - the more expensive gas from a "name brand" station, or the cheaper gas from a "non name brand" station? Is higher octane going to make your car drive faster, the engine last longer or make any difference at all? This is the best explanation I have heard in a long time about the "which is best" confusion. (don't tell my husband that - he has been telling me this for years - it just seems to make more sense in this article!) http://biz.yahoo.com/brn/080104/24176.html?.v=1&.pf=insurance Hope it helps you save a bit! We have done our cars like this for years and so far, in the 5 years I have had my Malibu and doing the 87 octane from a non brand station (althought right now a Union station is cheaper than non name brand stations) and adding the Chevron additive every other month, the only things I've had to replace on my car was the rack and pinion and that was just from "over use/to much street driving and my shocks!. SO I can vouch for this!
