Default What gas company makes the best premium fuel?

I have always used premium fuel but I have never cared what company the fuel was by. I notice a lot of people have a certain fuel company that they will only use. What is the best one or the most widely used?

I ONLY use Shell and Sunoco... unless i'm extremely low and theres nothing else around. But then I only put in a few gallons until I can get to a Shell or Sunoco.

Between V-Power and Sunoco Ultra 94, I dont trust anything else.

No it's not all the same. It may be all gasoline, but forumlations are different. Most regions have seasonal forumulations for winter and then srping/summer/fall.

and every station gets the same gas. Ask the gas tanker drivers. They fill em all up with the same gas and pour a few gallons of the individual company's additive into the tank to make it "their own". It's all the same gas

All the gas we get in Indiana is piped up from the Gulf Coast in on pipeline. All the gas companies here take out what they need, and then market it as their own gas. Say Shell and BP are putting gas in the pipeline that comes here to Indiana. If BP takes out 100 gallons here, then the put 100 gallons back in down along the coast.

It all boils down to marketing. The gas that we buy here is all the same.
