Chevron or Texaco 93, both of which contain Techron.

Normally Shell, but sometimes Chevron. We have a limited number of stations in my rural location, so its slim pickings.

I've been using Amoco/BP premium in my Porsches since 74 with no issues.

Don't know of the particular brand but it's always 93 octane. I was wondering if a lower octane rating would make a big difference, considering gas prices these days..

chevron, or 76, its a toss up.
NEVER shell. it made my jeep unhappy, hurt my old scirocco, and i think a buddy put it in my truck recently, when he borrowed it, and 1/2 way though the tank, I knew it wasn't chevron, cause the mileage sucked.

You Jersey and PA guys have it made with your gas prices. We are on average about 20 cents per gallon more in New York but in California those guys were paying $4.35/gal even last month!

I'm pretty much with you here, although I try to avoid complete no name stations when there's a name brand station nearby. I figure there's more turnover in inventory w/ the name brand station. Otherwise, it's more about price and convenience for me.
