Does gasoline vary much from station to station? Brand name vs non brand name?
I know of a station that's ~ 20+ cents less than others for premium just because it's an unheard of brand. Do brands matter?

well there was a big story a few months ago about gas stations around here adding water to their gas as a filler. charged less money but doesnt sound quite like the healthiest thing for the car. it was only a few ones though, not any of the big ones like mobil.

If the difference between 89 and 91/93 is, say, 20 cents, then filling up with the good stuff will only cost you an extra $3 or so. You just spent $30,000 on the car; why cheap out on the most important ingredient?
