I use nothing but 76 in my car

The town I work in has gas prices at ~ $2.45 for premium, but there is no 76 around here.

I have to fill up in either Orinda or Moraga, which has it priced at ~ $2.75 for premium

I've been running shell for a while now cuz its cheaper than any other major brand in berkeley(one on university close to san pablo). Go back to 76 when their prices become reasonable again in the area. A little reluctant about valero(dunno why, but I associate them more on the level of arco)
