Default ttdude's stupid Friday poll #29: brand loyalty

Every single TT on the market has the same design flaw. The dang things keep running low on fuel...

I assume that we all follow Audi's recommendation of filling up with at least 91 octane. I wonder how specific people are beyond that.

When you fill up your TT, where do you go for gas?

A) cheapest place for 91 octane I can find
B) cheapest place for 93 octane I can find
C) cheapest place for race gas (100+ octane) I can find
D) specific brand gas station (Sunoco, Exxon, etc.) - please specify
E) whatever station I'm near when I need gas
F) any parking lot - syphoning is free
G) I have the fusion generator mod, so I don't need gas
H) Rahul

Self-response: B (I haven't found any difference between brands, so I save my pennies)

Last week's results: Tryptophan addicts - the lot of you!

Default D. sunoco 94 -- if there's a sunoco around...

but if not, major brand 93 octane...

non-branded gas stations get their petrol from too wide a variety of sources -- much easier to get nasty gas that way... well, that and chili dogs, but that's neither here nor there.

Default D+B+H... hey, hey, here we go...

Mobil 93 - always (mostly 'cause they sent me this nifty fobber deally and I don't have to "pay" for the gas - which is worth at least the $.10 a gallon premium I pay for there stuff), but I usually go on Sundays (if I remember and/or need gas), when it's $.05 off on 93 octane. Obviously.

Also, I just ate a pre-pre-pre-x-mas cookie w/the green sparklie things and now my tongue is green - I'm going to show all the accounting monkeys - woo hoo!!!

:-)
