Best brand of gasoline (not octane)?

I use 93-94 octane (Sunoco and Exxon usually, sometimes shell or mobil) regularly...However, I noticed there are differences in the performance of the car when using different brands of gas...
Does anyone else have this experience? Which brand do you feel gives the best performance for your car? thanks.

Arco runs great for me, (it's also the cheapest in town for premium), but my second choice is Chevron.
Mobil is usually ok,
I don't trust 76 or Shell,
I never go with non-name brand stations.

performance wise
76 with pro power is the best, better acceleration, throttle response and mileage, but techron cleans the engine, but it makes the car lag. try both and you will see the difference, i can feel the power from 76 but i can't see the cleaning power from chevron. just my opinion. used to use chevron, but now i have changed.

yea
thats what i heard about 76 gas from some people on the board , but from what i've tried it doesn't do anything bad to my engine, no knocking, pinging or anything. and i thought all gas was the same, other than the additives so i don't know what to believe. but i switch around gas anyways so its ok.

the performance of a brand of gas depends on the original ditillation process involved, where the (the "lower vaporizing") vaporization temperature of one of the components affects the overall actual effectiveness of the gasoline.

been experementing
I've been experementing lately. I used to use exxon religiously. here are my findings: exxon/mobile gas= blows thru car like bad taco bell, shell= best performance/extreemly high prices, chevron= right behind shell in performace/price comparable to exxon/mobile, local municipal airport= 148 octane airplane fuel/$3.24gal/WWWWWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!. anything else is watered down dino ****.
