My car seems to like chevron the best (in terms of MPG at least)

I hear costco has good gas too, they may just buy a ton of 93 and sell it at 91 in CA

Man can anyone confirm this? Cause that would be great (not that I'd tune for 93 w/ it or anything...)

I've never had a problem with Costco gas, but I always go to 76. Either get 100 octane, or a place that has a dedicated 91 pump so there is no 87/89 backwash.

Haha. Hooray for NA cars using crap gas! I use Valero (cheapest gas in my neighborhood), Chevron, and 76. I also stop by Mobil 1 if I can actually find one up here, but there's one on Mission in Fremont. I usually fill up there if I'm low on gas and happened to be at the SD headquarters or Fry's. I've used Arco gas a handful of times and it was alright for crap gas when I'm dangerously cheap.

When I had my prelude, everytime I filled costco gas, my car "felt" slower. Not sure if it's just in my head
