Also depends a lot on what kind of gasoline you use. Say what you want but using top tier fuels makes a big difference in the long run. Cheap gasolines save you money now and cost you later. Pamper that baby.


Good advice! Another tip: never fuel up when the tanker is in the station. In the process of filling the station's tanks, they stir up any crap sitting at the bottom of the tanks. If you fuel up while they're there, you're putting some of that crap into your tank. It literally takes hours for that sh1t to settle to the bottom of the station's tanks again. Though in theory, this is good advice, in reality it's hard to know if a tanker has just left the station. A good bet would be to fill up when the stations are busy with some line ups. Tankers are unlikely to visit the stations during peak periods because they would have to wait too long to position their trucks if there's a lot of traffic and it would disrupt business for the station.

One last addition, stay with newer stations (newer tanks) that do a lot of business (fresh gas).
