It really makes no difference as most gas comes from only a few refiners. So it's really all the same anyway regardless of brand. Or have they got you fooled into paying more for a brand name...
And to answer the question, whichever one is the cheapest is my fav...
I ususally use Sunoco, Amoco or Mobil. My car runs better with the Sunoco or Amoco. Has anyone noticed that the car seems a lot quicker when the tank is full?
I thought cars were lighter with the tank near empty because of the weight of a full tank. I think i've noticed this too, either that or i was just imagining it..
A near-empty tank may make your car considerably lighter, however, it also can result in fuel starvation for the engine. In particular, if you're cornering or accelerating hard the gas will be sloshing around in your tank, and, if there ain't much gas there to begin with, the chances are that not much gas is going to make it to your engine.
I have been using Mobil 93 octane.. but this past week I tried Sunoco 94 octane and it was dammnnn smooothh.. I am going to try Sunoco 93 octane next time and see if its better than mobil.(I am expecting that it will be)

I think anything is quicker going downhill. Like riding your bigwheeldown a steep hill you have to take your feet of the pedals because they cant keep up. LOL...I miss those days with my riced out big wheel...lol
If I had to pick one it would be 92+ from Union/Unocal 76. My previous cars (Civic Si, Legend LS, Accord V6 all seemed to run/burn/fire quicker on tests between 76/Exxon/Chevron/Arco/BP-Amoco/etc. Haven't ran the same "test" on my IS yet. Would have to assume the same though.
Who cares. Anything that takes the visa-debit swipe these days that can dispense 92+. Except Arco AM/PM... too many bad experiences with seemingly watered down gas in the past.
