    BP Gold all the way. I try to use all 91 in mine, simply because of it being "white" gas, the stuff with the cleaners and detergents. Amaco used to have a 100K mile engine guarantee, so I thought it was pretty darn good gas to insure an engine for 100K miles. :D FYI, Amaco merged with BP a good while ago here in the US.

    The Taco likes Shell the best. Has the smoothest idle after it warms up good. The next best in my truck seem to be Phillips 66, then Qwik Trip. All top tier rated, but the gas at QT is usually the cheapest around and usually the last to raise their prices. But it must have more ethanol because it consistently gets the worst mileage of the 3.

    I try and use Chevron 89 whenever possible. IMO shell has a lot of sulfur and gunks up my engine.
    I paid 3.05/gal in Sac Today. Pretty cheap compared to where its been the past year.

    I find the truck runs best on Sunoco or Shell. Ultra or V Power. I'm picky though as to which station I go to. I only go to the ones that are "New", freshly rebuilt. New tanks and pumps. Have a friend who went to Mobil all the time. His truck began running like shit, dealer dropped the gas tank and it looked like a dumpster that wasn't shaken empty. This particular owner of several stations also had a contract to supply city vehicles with fuel and they started breaking down as well. So, I don't trust any of them, and only go to refurbished (New) stations now.

    Chevron or Texaco for me, since they're the same gas.

    I have always preferred Chevron. Back when I had a 69 Mach 1 my wife thought it was strange that I could tell the difference in different brands. Granted that now a days they tend to get their gas from the same sources and then add their own miracle additives but there is one that makes me sick. I would walk ten miles rather that buy a gallon of Valero gas. Hugo Chavez who hates the US advertising his company on television as "the all American gas company",.....yeah, all South American. I am surprised the FCC lets them get away with that crap.

    I use whatever happens to be close to me at the time I'm in need of gas. All gas comes from the same place, the amount of detergent used in any brand (even the "premium" ones) is a joke, and I'm not driving out of my way to save a few cents on a tank.
