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.

Envious of you Jersey fellows...
I am paying around $3.60 for premium at the local Shell.
In Long Island (Nassau) I can get it for $3.45 at an Exxon.
But now I think I'll only stick to Shell...

I know. It is just one of the MANY benefits of living in Jersey. 
It is sometimes annoying that this state is full service only, however, I cannot complain about the prices!

I only use 93 Chevron or Shell. When I lived in CA mostly Chevron, now that I'm back in NY mostly Shell. In CA the highest Octane for both brands was 91. The compression ratios for these engines demand the higher octane. In my Yukon I run Shell 89 even though it can run on 87.
