60% racetrak, 20% quicktrip, 15% shell, 5% chevron.

You really should have put 'other' in your poll.

BP/Amoco because it's just 5 blocks from my house. However, I prefer Chevron.

60% Sunoco (not Ultra 94 anymore, I just get 93 now)
40% Whatever gas station happens to be near-by when I need gas.

Like someone said; you should have an "Other" option in there, there are a few gas stations that are cheaper than the others that are privately owned. Not to mention around where I live, HESS gas is slightly cheaper than others.

Usually Mobil, but right now with the current gas price bs, whatever station has the cheaper 89 octane, that's what goes in my tank.

70 percent Chevron
10 percent Flying J (in Troutdale -- 80 miles away)
10 percent 76
10 percent "whatever is cheapest when I am out of town"

Flying J used to carry 93 octane, but no one is about 92 that I can find in Oregon anymore.

Venezuela is the founding member of OPEC, which all the middle east countries belong to.

Being that my friends father ownes a sunoco station the 94 was really not 94 its 93.4 they just put it as 94 which is y now they dont sell it much anymore but the station here by me still has it i think, so whoever told u they were the same they are right just about the same.
