I try to run Sunoco where I can in my Corvettes. If one is not available, I try to stay with a major brand, Mobil, Shell, etc.

Me...
Usually it's a Kangaroo store or Bp, Wherever I can find the lowest price.
I've had trouble with a few "Name brands" before. Typically, it was water in the fuel and it was the stores fault (more than likely) so, i've become less anal with where it is I go to top off.

Make my own. I refine old cooking oil from the restaurant that I sell to. Along with some othe bio-degradable stuff. End result is about 18 cents a gallon and I get over 20 mpg with it.

Some C-5 owners have had fuel gauge problems resulting from higher sulfur content gas. Adding Techron often clears it up. Running Chevron/Texaco will be OK. In general, I try to only use "top tier" gas. Google "top tier" for more info.

When I get the oil from the Mexican Restaurants it gives me a good boost.

Yeah, I've been using Chevron for the most part. Mostly because of what I have heard about the gas gauge problems with some other fuels.
