Actually, after thinking about it, I agree with you about engine damage if one was to use low grade fuel constantly as excessively retarded timing can increase cylinder bore wear (in addition to giving lower power and increasing harmful emissions)

I've been primarily using Irving 93 the last few years since they opened a new station nearby. I've continued to use them since I got the M3 as well.
My experience has always been positive and I haven't heard anything negative about them. They typically have the lowest prices near me as well...

I try hard for shells but I like to switch it up once in a while to Sunoco
It's more important to obtain fresh gas, but not too fresh. You don't want the stuff right off the trucks.

Also, I tend to support BP because they distribute 93 octane further West than anybody else, at least they have in my travels through the midwest. Everyone else switches to 91 or 92 somewhere around the MO/KS border.

http://urbanlegends.about.com/od/aut...umping_gas.htm If a tanker truck is filling the station's tank at the time you want to buy gas, do not fill up; most likely dirt and sludge in the tank is being stirred up when gas is being delivered, and you might be transferring that dirt from the bottom of their tank into your car's tank |
