I use Mobil because it is literally next door to me, and because I love the speed-pass thing. I also have yet to be convinced that the brand makes a big difference in performance or mileage, but I'm willing to be persuaded.
--edit-- Oh, also because it's 24 hours. I'm a night-owl.

I usually try to get Shell being the cheaper gas around and of better quality. The other probelm is I use credit card for all my payments so on ocasion I get Mobil and on very a rear ocasion I get Arco when it has a credit card spot, (the new ones do). I always get medium grade which is usually about 89 octane but at Arco I think it is less. While gas prices have begin to fall I have been thinking about getting preimum.

I used to use any name brand in the area, but last month, at 21000mi the car started missing at low rpm. I took the car to the service department where they replaced the plugs. They said the plugs were fouled due to what they thought was bad gas and told me that they recommend Chevron high grade only. So, its Chevron for me.

Shell...89 octane. Every once in a while I'll run a tank or two of premium (93 octane) in hopes of "cleaning" things out, but my gas mileage suffers...about 2 mpg less.

I'm still wondering about Arco though. Years ago they were busted for watering down the gasoline. And supposedly they cleaned up now. So does that mean Arco gas is on par with other major brands?
