Gas buyers favor brand, not price

How about something on a different note here on oneighturbo.com

Here is an interesting read on gas and advertising. Brand recognition/loyalty vs. price, which do you choose. Seems to be a ton of complaining on the price of gas these days. We have another viewpoint on it but this article supports the fact that price isn’t a concern.

I drive a VW 1.8T engine and it requires premium. I knew this when I bought it in 2002, long before the issue of today. I cannot really complain about the price. I’d love to buy a TDI but the New Beetle is paid for and I have more mod’n to do! ;)

Ok, back to brand. I try to hit Chevron first, Shell and BP next. That is it. Every so often I drop a bottle of Chevron Techron in.

Where do you go?

Oil company advertising is apparently much more effective than we had originally thought. As gasoline prices creep up towards $4.00 per gallon (already there in Southern California), consumers are still more likely to purchase fuel based on brand over price.

VF-Engineering: Lower pendulum mount, bushing replacement

Finally got around to installing replacement bushings on the rear engine mount. A few weeks ago I was completing an oil change and I always use this time to inspect the car underneath. Well I noticed two bushings bulging out a bit. I pulled apart the mount and low and behold, they were ripped/split. I sent an email to VF-Engineering, purchased a kit of 4.

I had a strong drive into work this morning and it had smoothed out a ton. Overtime, as they ripped, I got used to the vibration becoming more pronounced. A lot of people complain about the vibrations right off the bat, which I found not to be true. The reason for this is that the silicone bushings are stiffer than that of the OEM ones. This directs your engines power to the wheels as well as the body.

Wither way, the cars feels better now!
