There are many (including BMW if I'm not mistaken) who say that you should always stick with top tier gas. Top tier gas (Shell, Chevron, etc.) has additives/cleaners that keep gunk from building up in your engine. Cheap gas has been cited for all kinds of problems, the most common being poor performance and knocking/pinging. If you Google "Costco gas quality" or something similar you will see all kinds of stuff.
I use Shell exclusively (because it's all over Houston) and have never had any gas-related issues. I just wish they'd take the damn ethanol out...stupid government regs. Edit: Sorry for the thread jack. We can all go back to spotting M3s now.

It varies by gas stations. I would rather have my car towed than fill up at some of the gas stations here if I ran out of gas. The Shell in Durant is extremely sketchy, so I usually go to Exxon or Wal mart. How's wal mart gas? lol

So, not to knock truckers, but any time a trucker pulls in to fill up there tanker, there are a number of quality control measures that they are expected to take. When they take them, you're generally guaranteed a good product. When they don't, its hit or miss. Some are expected to do some pretty complicated math to get the ratios right (generally for ethanol blending). There a lot of little things that can go wrong, and unfortunately you don't usually find out until its already offloaded in to storage at a station and delivered to a customer, regardless of whether its from Costco or Shell. As for Ethanol... yeah, I'm not a fan either. Um, saw a Jet Black E92 this morning. It was in my garage. /endthreadjack.

I just feel comfortable with those brands. And you're right, it may not be such a good idea to go to those 'rinky dinky' gas stations in the middle of nowhere. No telling what they do. Quote:
