When i'm getting low I just pull up to the closest gas station. I know people who only put Chevron gasoline in their tanks and to me thats non-sense. Perhaps there is a difference but for a DD car stop and go traffic on the highway doesnt really care if its Chevron on WaWa's as long as its 93 ive never had a problem.

i only fill up at my gas station when im local lol. yes i own a gas station its a 76 aka phillips 66 aka conoco phillips. of course only premium and when i am not local only 76 as well (premium).
it really doesnt matter which brand you use. its like comparing smart water to aquafina water. same ****. the octane matters though, althuogh in california I have many inspections at my gas station but none of the inspections check for the quality of gas. IE. like the octane level. if i were to transfer 500 gallons of 87 to the 91 tank, no inspector or public person would know or test the gas for it being the correct octane. I dont know why but thats just how it is lol. they only check for EPA bull**** and that the meter on the pump is giving out the correct amount of gas that you purchased. no more. no less.
Theres my 2 cents lol.
and unfortunately in cali highest you can get is 91, we have places selling racing fuel in los angeles that is 100 octane for like, 10 bucks a gallon if you wanna be a baller.

I like to switch it up between Mobil, chevron, or shell; that way IF there is any difference between the cleaners, my engine would benefit from being cleaned by multiple types of cleaners.
But im not too worried, I throw in a bottle of techron injection cleaner before every oil change, and that stuff is hundreds of times more concentrated then what im getting at the best chevron gas.
