What is the difference in the different gas qualities at the gas station? Do you think there really is a difference or is it all the same? Which type do you get? How much is gas in the area you live in? Do you go to any gas station that offers the cheapest gas or is there only certain gas stations you go to?

I buy V-Power from service station of Shell and earning point for free gift. The price they is different from serice station in service station and is maximum little under 1 euro and minimum 0.80 euro. The V-Power racing is very good gas 100octane and the car running much better , but the V-power racing is expensive 1.20euro

When I start read your topic I feel sooooooooooooooo stupid!!I don't drive but I don't think this is excuse to haven't any idea about the types of gas.Just I remember I hear from my husband always that the prices of gas go up again and there is a big different about the prices even if two gas stations are in the same street one near to the other.I'm so unconnected with the gas issue...............

Here in Ireland since the introduction of unleaded petrol, we only have a choice of petrol or diesel. Just a few cars are run on butane gas so not many stations stock it. Our local station charges more than any other station that I know of (1.09 per litre) , so I usually fill up at the cheapest (.98 euros per litre) which is about 12 miles away. I would also do some shopping then so that it would make it worth my while travelling the distance for the cheap petrol.

I hardly drive myself, however, I believe that there is a difference, when you have a really nice car. Then, you want to get something that does not ruin the way it drives. I know that my hubby gets an oil change every few weeks, becuase he thinks that that keeps it running smoothly. Gas prices fluctuate so often, where I live, that I have stopped caring. And, there is usually one in the neighborhood, that has the lowest price. It is just usually out of our way.

I dont know if there really is a difference in the types of gas but most MEN say there is. Gas is around $2.10 here and i always get the cheapest gas i can find. I usually go to a station that is the cheapest on their prices.

I do that too, but lately gas here hasn't gone lower than $2.59. and that's for the cheapest grade.
