    If I remember correctly Johan (DiabloSport) spoke least favorably about Shell which had been using.
    And if I recall correctly he liked Exxon and Mobile the best.
    If I am wrong, someone please correct me.

    Currently I use Exxon exclusively.
    (incidently, I don't have the traditional 6.1L motor)

    I use Sunoco or Mobil.

    I was a beta tester for Diablo. I took my car there with a full tank of Shell. Johan couldn't even tune without getting knock. He drained it all and put Mobil in it. He recommended only using Exxon, Mobil, and Sunoco and that's all I put in it.

    That's because he doesn't want anyone's engine to run as well as mine!

    I could use some special plutonium fuel and my car still wouldn't run as well as yours.
