Do you have a preferred gas station to go to and if so, which one? I’ve been using strictly BP for mine. I’m considering switching to Shell since there’s more of them in the DMV area compared to BP. I also usually gas up when half full.

I read something online that I never thought about and that is to use the station that’s is the busiest. That way you’re getting a more likely fresh batch of gas.

I mainly go to Costco. Backup is Chevron

Avoid gas stations when the truck is refilling the reservoir. It will stir up residue subtrates

93 octane isn't available around here. The only premium choice is between with or without ethanol.

I choose the gas station for fueling based on the quality of their car wash.:)

I thought the base fuel is the same from several refineries. (4 in CA?)
They just add diff additives to diff brands of fuels if so required before delivery to the gas stations.

I believe you’re right.
