My preferred gas station is the one I can pull in and out of without scraping.

Ive been using Costco 93 in my 911, M3 and X3 and although it works fine and is much cheaper, i always feel subtle sluggishness and a slight loss of power/throttle response. Seems like Shell is the only gas that gives me the best power and mpg. Chevron is no longer available in the DC area. I do make it a habit to use Chevron Techron before oil changes.

That's why you go early in the AM or right before the close at night

I use exclusively shell with 0 ethanol. Any other gas I've gotten, car is rough on cold start and idling.
