I use Sams 93 octane. It seeks to run fine and is the cheapest in town.
Back in the 70's before my dad died he drove a gas truck. He said it would amaze you haw many different ones of these stations use the same gas. Not sure any more.

I only use V-Power. I tried using Exxon after using V-Power consistently and my gas mileage on the interstate went from 29-30 to 25-26. I honestly didn't expect it to make that much of a difference but I guess so. When I first started using V-Power it burned really fast, after a while my gas mileage increased. I usually ranged about 300-320 before the gas light came on, now its about 320-340 and this is mostly city driving.

Here in New Jersey, A strange thing is happening...A Russian conglomerate called "Luk-Oil" has bought out a LOT of the independent gas stations, formerly owned by the towelheads. Soo...every mile or so, I see "Luk-Oil" gas stations 
Surprised they didn't call it "KGB Gas-n-Go" or "Krazee Kremlin Gas" with the old USSR Symbol and Dolph Lundgren as the spokesperson..LOL

I always heard it was best to pick one brand and stick with it. They all offer similar performance, but the additives may not be compatible with each other. IOW, mixing one brand with another can have undesirable results - additives that react with each other and create sludge or gum up your injectors, etc.
