Default Which Brand of Gasoline Do You Use?

Curious....which brand of gas do you put in your S ?

I know we need to put in 91 octane or higher, but do you find some brands "perform" better?

Thanks!

Pretty much all gas is the same octane-wise. If you're buying 91, it's just as good as the next guy's 91. The difference lies with the additives or detergents each company puts into their final product. My personal choice is Shell. I chose them because they are the only readily available gas in my area on the Top Tier Gas list. It's a standard backed by BMW, General Motors, Honda, and Toyota to meet more stringent requirements. You can read about it at their site here.

I go to Exxon/Mobil because I have their speedpass and I put in 93. I'm sure this isn't too original

Chevron is my personal favorite, but BP is about to take over everything, so that is what I use most of the time.
