using the same gas company every fuel up is a plus.. you are gonna get better fuel mpg cuz the computer has to relearn the new fuel every time
Not really the case. Using a "top tier" company is more important that using the same brand. Your computer will "re-learn" in a matter of a few miles. Using cheap gas (Citgo etc.) is bad - no matter what you drive.

Chevron is still the best gas on the market.

Even when I'm back in the States and use Chevron - I still use Redline SI-1 with every tank.
Those who know me know I'm a die-hard Amsoil oil guy. Nevertheless, from personal experience I haven't found a better fuel treatment than the Redline. The Amsoil PI seems to be good, and I'll use it if I can't get my hands on the Redline SI-1. However, the Redline product just seems to work better. One note: SI-1 doesn't seem to have a long shelf life.

Regardless, anything Road Rage endorses pretty much gets a rubber stamp from me. I'll try it before I jump on the bandwagon - but he's never been wrong to date. I haven't had the chance to use the Lubecontrol FP60 as of yet. I still have a year in the desert before I can get home and try anything new.

BG-44K is a harsh product. It was one of the first products on the market that actually worked - it got rid of the crap. However, it seemed to cause your engine oil to break down more quickly. There were also concerns over injector seals.

You really can't go wrong with a good quality fuel and a little SI-1 in the tank (or FP60, based on Road Rage's endorsement).
