I remember back in the 80s, so many friends and their parents seemed to favor Amoco (there used to be a line to get into the one by us (it's now an Exxon), but alas they were taken over by BP.

A bottle of fuel cleaner, preferably one with high concentration of PEA, will do far more cleaning than a tankful of top tier 1 gasoline.
Every so often, a bottle of Redline fuel system cleaner goes in my tank and the 4Runner's. The other thing that we have to unfortunately deal with in Florida is the 10% ethanol.

I don't stick with just one brand of gas. I really don't see the difference, so I would go to the cheapest ones I could find when situation allowed. But the most I put in are 76 and Chevron. But I also have put in Shell and Mobil.

Shell V-Power for the RX. I'm going to start going to Costco though, I fill up all of my other cars there since it's only about 7 mins from my house.
