I usually use Chevron because of the addition of the Techron. Other than that any top brand should be OK. I still follow the old adage of using a station that is has a high gas turn-over and staying away from stations that are being supplied when you are getting gas.

They delivery gas.
They sell gas.
The faster this cycle takes place, the more "turnover" they have.
High turnover equates to "fresher" gas.

I usually stick with name brand gas. A while back I remember reading a newspaper story that mentioned how in NJ there was a problem with organized crime rings mixing toxic waste in with gas to dispose of it at the local gas stations they controlled. I can’t imagine that would be good for the car.
