Premium Gas - what brand do u guys use?

I usually use premium gas (since it's recommended) from Mobil & Amoco, both make my Max run nice, what kind of premium gas do you guys usually use, and does the brand of gas make a difference in performance?

Usually Mobil 1 91 octane, but sometimes Shell and Chevron (both 91).
Rarely racing fuel 106 Octane (some independent gasoline carrier).

I did not write this just thought i'd pass it along impress your friends me mobil/exxon from day 1

Nothing is more frustrating than the feeling that every time I fill-up the tank, I am sending my money to people who are trying to kill me, my family, and my friends. I thought it might be interesting for you to know which oil companies are the best to buy gas from. Major companies that import Middle Eastern oil (for the period 9/1/00-8/31/01).

Shell 205,742,000 barrels
Chevron/Texaco 144,332,000
Exxon/Mobil 130,082,000
Marathon 117,740,000
Amoco 62,231,000

If you do the math at $30/barrel, these imports amount to over $18 BILLION!

Here are some large companies that do not import Middle Eastern oil:
Citgo 0 barrels
Sunoco 0
Conoco 0
Sinclair 0
BP/Phillips 0

All of this information is available from the Department of Energy and can be easily documented. Refineries located in the U.S. are required to state where they get their oil and how much they are importing. They report on a monthly basis.

Keep this list in your car; share it with friends. Stop paying for terrorism

Chevron 91. Quality gas will help keep your injectors and fuel system clean more than anything, so in a way it does help performance....although it's not like you'll get better times immediately after switching brands.

Texaco 93. Car runs best on this gas. Keeps everything clean.

Likewise, but I use Citgo 93 even though people say its watered down, but how do I know Exxon or Mobil isn't?

Sunoco 94, thats all I'll ever use. Does get pricey sometimes, but well worth it.
