Default What gas do you use?

Hey there, I was wondering if any of you have a preference when it comes to gas stations? I have two friends that refuse to use anything but 76 gas stations. They claim that it has 'better' gas. Any truth to that?

I went through this same issue a little while back .... got some opinions on several forums ... read some articles ... did a little internet research ... and I've decided to go with Shell V-Power 93 octane and nothing else. That seemed to be the most-preferred and most-recommended from my research.

I seen a show on gas on the History chanel, they said that gas is the same. Lets say BP send's a shipment through the pipe line and Shell sends a shipment after them. Shell can pick-up BP's gas if they are there first. Personal I have always used BP's 93 its right by my house and is usually the cheapest.

I use Chevron w/ techron! And always get the highest octane available, which in Nor Cal is 91 [:@] . It might not be the best gas but then again i dont end up paying for it so

Would it be bad for 1.8 t chipped to run 94 octane that ethanol blended??
