    I use Pemex its the only option available and the truck runs better than it ever did in the USA

    I think is the fact that they probably don't use all the additives and no ethanol

    However I probably have a 1/4 of sediment in the bottom of the tank

    I try to buy from which ever company that doesn't purchase their oil from the middle east, so it's usually Sunoco or Hess.

    I buy from whoever is selling it for less, or the closest station if Im running low and need a fill up. The most popular name brand stations around here(upstate NY) are Mobil, Sunoco, or Hess.

    Just kidding! I go with shell whenever I'm near one. In my one horse town we have 2 mom and pop gas stations that suck. Only one takes a card the other ones pumps still have the old scroll numbers on it.

    Brand not important as long as it is 0% ethanol. Usually this means 91-93 octane. Better mileage and performance. Hmmm... sounds familiar.

    No, gasoline is made to the same specs. Most product is moved nationally by pipeline. If you prefer brand x and brand y was in the pipeline before brand x pumps there product, you're getting brand y. If your brand of preference uses a detergent in there gas it will be added to the gas they receive. I'm a former refinery gasoline blender.

    Not trying to argue, just clarify. Would there not be a potential difference in the fuels from different stations due to the additives they may/may not add to the gas?
