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. :thumbsup:

Chevron or Texaco, gotta have the techron additive.:yesnod:
A name brand, Mobile, Sunoco, Shell or BP, 91 or better, typically 93 octane.
Oh yeah! I always use the 93 octane.
Back in the olden days, I actually did an informal comparison of all the brands of gasoline in my '66 GTO. By far, the BEST in both performance and mileage was the Sunoco 260 of that time. And yes, the brand of gasoline DID make a difference.

There are a couple of Sunoco stations around here, but not many at all, otherwise I probably would use their gasoline, maybe. Not sure about the Techron issue though.
When I was a kid, my dad owned and Esso station (which became Exxon), and my uncle owned a Shell station. Just used those gasolines out of habit until I got into the high performance kick. Of course that was back in the time when lead was added to gasoline to prevent knock anyway, so people could use lower octane gas in their cars.
Funny.... Lead is known to cause some severe neurological problems when people are exposed to it. I guess you have to wonder how much effect breathing in lead laced exhaust fumes over decades has had on us older folks. :ack2: Not to mention all that asbestos from brake linings..... :ack2: :ack2: Heck, I can remember working at my dad's station and watching the mechanics doing brake jobs. They would just pull the drums, then take an air hose to blow out all that brake dust. NO ONE wore face masks or any of that stuff. :shrug01:
