I will only use Shell 93 octane Premum in my coupe and my other cars. It might be expensive but i think its worth it. i will go all over just to find a shell gas station to fill up if i need.

I use Shell all the time as I have 5% rebate for all the gas that I use on the Shell Visa. The rebate is every month done automatically. I commute a lot everyday and it does saves me a lot of money. Besides, I trust the Shell brandname...

OK/Q8, a Swedish brand (I don't know how they manage to produce gas here - we have no oil!!!)
Edit: By the way a gallon of gas costs ~$3,7

In the past I have heard that high detergent gas like Mobil can do damage over a long period by stripping the oil lubrication off the cylinder walls. It kinda makes sense as detergent is designed to break up oil. Might be an old wives tale.

Shell is too expensive, Chevron and Mobile are perfect for its price down here. Arco is cheap...but we all know why. But hey, its only rumors.

I use Fina most of the time. It's the closest station to where I live, and so far, I have not had any problems. I do fill up at Texaco every now and then because it's close to work.

I have found that my engine likes Chevron and Mobil gas more than the others. I get better throttle response with those two brands, although I have had no problems with other brands.
