Chevron all day! Supreme baby :P

thrax · 03-07-2011, 09:19 PM

Most of the life of mine i put Sunoco 94 but have also used Petro Can and Shell. I avoid Esso.
When i lived in the states i put in 76 and shell but that was mostly because they were the closest ones.

Guitar Nut · 03-08-2011, 03:26 AM

As Long as its not arco then im good.

Dub's · 03-08-2011, 12:55 PM

E85 all day everyday.

NatAsRex7 · 03-09-2011, 03:19 PM
