What Brand Of Gas Do You Use?

I had a $25 Arco gas card and after putting it in I remembered about Arco's bad reputation. Is it going to be bad for my car in anyway or is it about the same as any other gas just with a brand name? I am asking on here to get the opinions of Z drivers, thanks.

Yeah I usually put in Costco or Shell. I want to use techron though but I just go by cheap price but I don't want to if it will hurt my car??

ive always used chevron in my Z. having said that, however, i use cheap gas (ARCO) in my beaters (sentra and honda civic). I've consistently found my gas mileage to be considerably higher with ARCO than other brands, by a very large margin, on my beater cars.

Whichever gas station is around when I am running out?

I always stay away from gas stations near freeways, as the prices are much higher (in the nicer areas). 76 always seems to be more expensive in my areas as well; I never use them unless I am desperate.
