I have never used anything but chevron, but I was considering trying out some of the shell V-POWER, it has cleaning additives just as the chevron gas does so I figure it’s worth a try right?

A friend of mine who worked in the tech division of a top Asian car manufacturer (who shall remain nameless) told me that the only fuel they would recommend is Chevron.

That's pretty cool

Not saying costco has the best gas or anything, but I always see them fill up using costco tankers if that means anything.

I agree from experience in more than one case. I currently have knocking problems past 6000rpm due to too much timing and noticed pinging earlier in the band when I filled up on mobil last week (as opposed to my usual Chevron down the street).
