It comes down to the additives. But I do not think it matters I remember reading somewhere that it's basically all the same.

I use the brands listed here. http://www.toptiergas.com/retailers.html The only ones on the list avaliable near me are Chevron, Texaco, Conoco, Phillips 66, and Shell. I use mostly Shell because of the station near my home. I keep a printout of this list in my car for road trips.

Shell, 76 and Chevron also, but when I'm lazy I go to the nearby Mobil. And from time to time, I do bite the bullet and get the oh-so cheap Costco gas.

Chevron here, but you are fine with any tier one fuel.
