Costco premium also has no methanol, so it wouldn't surprise me if it's the same gas.

RE: above quote
I missed this point because it had a typo in it, M in lieu of E.

This similar claim was just made elsewhere.

About every six weeks I try gas from somewhere other than Shell and immediately notice a performance drop (in my S-10 and Porsche).

I'm sold on the stuff, and a loyal customer.

Besides, have you ever noticed inside your engine bay there is a decal recommending Shell? My 1977 has it, it's in storage right now otherwise I would take a photo of it.
