It's all the same
Hate to tell you guys, but all gas comes from the same place. The actual gas is all the same, regardless of where you buy it. It gets pumped through the same pipeline, and then fuel depot's buy xx gallons from a pipeline. The only difference (and it's small) is the additives, which are typically mixed in at the depot - then shipped to the actual station.
All the major's are fine, and most generics are just as good.

I always use Mobil for my Benz in the US and have always used Shell in Hong Kong
Just stick with the name brands here in the mid-west. They are all about the same (BP, Shell, Mobil)

I have always seemed to use Arco. They usually have the best prices in my area, Bay Area Ca, and my mileage is good with them. I payed 245 for premium yesterday. I can't stand 76 and have always gotten the worst gas mileage from them.

All gas are equal until it reach the gas station, and additives are mixed in.
the Worest gas you can by besides "Family Express", its "Costco Gas"! My car runs so crappy with Costco gas.......but thats just my opinion
