Hells yea to the Wawa's. They take care of my entire life. Everything from my morning cup of coffee to my weekend munchies at 3am. Anyplace that can make me a sandwich at any hour of life has my vote.

And just to be on topic, I have two near me that are Wawa gas stations. BRILLIANT!!

I dont know how true this is, but I had my car in for service today and they told me there were a couple of fault codes that came up due to misfire and such. They said Audi is asking customers to use the bigger name brand stations to fill up. They said the places like Costco might get there gas from the the same places the other companies do but they get what they call "end runs". That is supposedly where the contaminents settle. Again, i dont know if its true or not.

I have been feeling my car with Costco premium for months and have not noticed anything or heard any misfires so take it with a grain of salt.

I popped a rich code and a lean code onone tank of gas from Fred Meyers (Kroger, Ralphs, Smith's, Fry's, etc.). The rest of my vehicles run fine on their gas, but the Audi doesn't like it.

Costco, Sam's Club, and 7-Eleven, all have 15% ethanol in their gas. Whereas, Shell and others have only 10% (legally min required). I tried their gas before, but started getting couple of miles less per gallon than what I was getting from Shell, so now... Shell is the only brand I put in.
