Default which gas company?

So I had 2003 hyundai sonata that has 150k miles, I actually still have it. For this car I am really not picky what gas I put in, mostly I go for Arco since its relatively close to me.

However I bought 2011 es 350 a week ago, with 53k miles. I been feeding this thing Chevron and Shell. I actually dont know much about difference in gas brands such as arco vs shell or chevron.

Do you guys recommend I keep feeding Chevron and Shell? or can I go back to my cheaper Arco? lol

I think Chevron is the best.

Chevron or Shell is fine. Not too much difference between brands. I see the tankers from the two nearest wholesalers/distributors making deliveries to all of the local stations (Shell, BP, Mobil, Speedway, etc. Yes the additives are probably a little different, but how much? I use BP because it's near me and I have a discount card.

For the past 40 or so years all we have been using is Mobile. After the Mobile key pass came out it makes it easy to use the pumps. We also seem to have a lot of their stations in the north east so it's pretty easy to get to one.

We've been putting mostly Costco and some Chevron into our newer Lexus - we're getting great mileage. Costco now puts additives into their fuel, too.
