I've put together a gas analysis spreadsheet (I got no life...) Since the car was new, and already have about 100 samples in the data of various brands. First, I have noticed that there is a consistent 0.5MPG difference between the car readout and hand calc method. Second, I also found that some brands aren't as bad as I thought, while others, like Shell, aren't as good as everyone believes. When price is similar, I'd of course go for shell. Third, overall best bang for the buck comes from the cheaper brands and still net the same gas milage. Now gas mileage strictly speaking, I see little difference amongst brands, but if you want to get into power/feel, maybe the tier 1 brands are slightly better. You might want to reconsider paying that 10 cents premium for tier 1 brands.
