I need some advice on fuel in the bay area. I for the most part have been a Chevron follower for my whole driving life, but unfortunately no Chevron around here carries diesel. Anyways I filled up for the first time earlier this week at a local Shell, but now my car smokes on hot starts and the performance seems to have suffered.
Only Shell and Valero carry diesel around here and I have never had very good luck with their gasoline when I had a gasser. But I did find a Shell truck stop in Livermore (Geno's Country Store) and one by where I go to school in Oakland (Unocal 76 truck stop). I was assuming that due to the higher turnover fuel at these locations it would probably be better fuel. Is this usually the case or do I just need to try different stations to see what works best?
Thanks
