Chevron has worked the best for me. Shell has been the worst for me. Depending on actual location, your mileage may vary.

I can only get 91, which sucks. I sure wish I could get 93 or 94 whatever you guys get.
I would always go to Chevron, but it's much more expensive for me (about 20 cents per gallon).
I use Shell 91 most of time. Sometimes I use 76's 91. Both are on the top tier gasoline lists alongside Chevron that was assembled by auto makers including BMW.

Exxon 91 and Chevron 91, depending on whether I fill up near work, or near home.
Here's a link for those of you in Cali for 100 octane

I usually use these brands. A couple of tanks ago I put in a lesser brand, same 92 octane, and immediately felt less power and experienced worse mpg. I'm now on the 2nd fillup post that and the mpg is coming back; maybe another tank?
Might be there was more water in that off-brand gas? I've used it in other cars without problem, but then I've never had the running mpg computer before ;-)
