I've been running Sunoco 94 for a while now. I haven't run Shell since they came out with the V-Power gas. There are only two Sunoco stations around here and about 20 Shell stations. I'll giver a try next time I'm empty.

I do a mix of highway and city driving....so I can't really give a consistent number on how much mileage i get out of my A6. But, I'm glad im in the same boat as you guys...

I'm paying up to 2.55 for one gallon of 93 octane wherever I go.....it almost makes me wanna drive out of chicago just to fill up gas.

i always fill up with shell gas, i dont really like arco, and 76 and chev near my house are to expensive compared to shell its like always 15cent more for 91 compared to shell. If i drive alot of free way the trip computers says 390 miles on a tank but its never really ends up at 390.
