Gas Station Preferences

Ok guys....So I'm sure i'm not the only 1 that "babies" car. Every little detail i take into close consideration. Even which gas station I get my gas from. I've always and only used gasoline from Shell. What do you guys think? Any real "huge" difference in gas stations?

Always premium for Exxon, Shell, or Chevron. Never the cheap gas, Todd (Uma)

I used 76 exclusively in the 70's when they had heavy sponsorship for auto racing (and free gas for all racers, pro or otherwise). When that ended, I switched to Mobil since they were the best in extensive dyno testing on 2 stroke dirt bikes in the 80's. Then, much later, to Chevron (for good) since they were the first to figure out the optimum detergency (Techron) to keep injectors in modern engines working problem free. A local Chevron station has nearly the least expensive gas in the county, so the choice is easy.
