I use it from time to time, but I always use it when I store the car for the winter.

there's no "real gas" available locally, so I can't worry about it. When I lived in the Pac. NW, there were a couple of places in the small town that carried it. I tried it in my V8 pickup, it didn't make it run any better and I couldn't see any better gas mileage.

Our gas in Tucson all comes from the same terminal. Only difference is the additive package. So I use one of the more budget gases, Fry's/Kroger, and I buy Techron by the quart or half gallon when I can find it.

After 30+ years in O&G exploration and production I can assure you that this is the case more often than not.

Plenty of "Pure" gas stations here in the southeast. It is the only thing I will put in our vehicles unless there are no other options. We have a '95 Jeep Wrangler that recently had to have all the rubber fuel lines replaced because the 10% ethanol fuel destroyed them. I use the "Pure Gas" app when traveling outside our local area to identify stations that offer 100% gas.
