The right fuels to use. Don't be foolish
Everybody really needs to check your gas mileage on the cheaper gases like Walmart, Sheetz, Giant foods, etc. I think that if you do this you will see that the 2 or 3 cent savings in cost is not worth...

Within 3 miles of our house, we have half a dozen gas stations. The most convenient being Flying J, TA (BP brand gas) and Shell. We generally stay away from the Flying J with the cars and the Motorhome. The motorhome gets poor mileage when fueling up at Flying J or the Shell. Generally anywhere from 1 mpg to 1.5 mpg less per tank.
I know there is a difference with the Motorhome because the BP, Shell and Flying J are within a 1/4 mile of I-95. We fill up and then we are on the Interstate, usually for 100s of miles. When we fuel up with BP, we can go 40 - 60 miles further on a tank of gas than when we fuel up at Flying J or Shell. Where we fuel the cars up doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference in the mileage. The motorhome gets the best gas mileage when fueling with BP, Exxon, Sunoco or Mobile.
