this has to be just in my head, but does anyone feel they get less MPG with costco compared to Shell or Chevron? maybe i just slam the pedal more because it is cheaper lol.

does california stay the same blend year round?

thankfully only about 1.5mi from home so i always turn around and come back later, just wondering if i'm being nuts being that it is 2021 and not the 1980s.

is this an old wives tale or legit? i go to costco gas a lot in the evenings and the tanker truck is frequently there, is it bad to get gas while the truck is there or is this just a ridiculous myth? my thinking is that costco goes through so much gas that it is fresh and i would assume costco...

great thanks, S55 is already a thirsty little [censored] for a six....hopefully not more than 1mpg for the 5w-40 pennzoil extra protection LL-01 probably worth it to me.

so the FE is just for some CAFE regs and LL-01 without the FE probably protects a little bit better at the expense of a tiny bit of fuel consumption? am i getting this right?

so.....back to the original question......anyone think this Motul LL01-FE 5w-30 is any good? or stick to BMW TPT LL01-FE 0w-30....or last choice being pennzoil platinum euro LL01, 5w-40? i am down to those 3 choices in my own head, for intermittent 5k changes. if it makes any difference i do a...

they put LL01-FE on my 1200 mile break-in service, i believe they are doing LL01-FE even in M engines, someone correct me if i'm wrong? i know for sure they (the BMW dealer) put the FE oil in my car.
