Default GAS 87/89/91 and which gas station?

I live in OC near cypress/la palma/cerritos, however i was wondering what kind of gas everyone puts in their IS/GS 250/350, ETC. I usually put 91 at chevron, but i was wondering if it makes a difference. I kno there is a thread about this already but they started to get off topic so i wanted to make my own. thx please post and tell me what the difference is about those 3 and if its good to put 87 or not. thx

I use 91 from whatever gas station is closest to me at the time. Which is normally chevron since its right next to the freeway entrance.

Shell 91 - I just fill up at whichever exit I use before I get home, usually Imperial and La Palma.

Going out of my way might save $1 per fillup (6-7 cents a gallon) but driving the extra 10 miles to get to the "cheaper" station uses up just as much. Plus I get 5% back (Discover & Shell Mastercard both offer it).

The only stations I swear off are the ones by my work in San Juan Capistrano - they're always higher by 20 cents sometimes.

Does anyone use COSTCO gas?

BTW: gas is always about $0.20 cheaper in OC than Los Angeles.

CHEAPEST ARCO gas station in Fullerton = Orangethorpe and State Colleget Blvd. Lastnight (sunday) 87 oct. was $3.32

If you're leasing your Lexus, who cares... get the cheapest one !! hehehe.
