Message	all day. B/t BP, Chevron and Shell, Shell is the winner for best gas mileage by a long shot. On my recent drive down, I got an average of 20mpg w/ BP, 22mpg w/ Chevron and 26mpg w/ Shell (and I turned on the A/C after I filled up w/ shell, whereas it was off with the other 2). Terrain was almost identical the entire drive down, but I did go through Houston w/ the tank of Shell. Other than that, flat terrain, low traffic and no major cities. Cheers, JBrobst
