What is the best Gas?
What type of gas is everybody using? Are you particular or do you just fill up wherever?
I have been using Shell mostly - but was wondering if other fuels are better/worse....

Chevron with techron...good stuff...keeps your insides happy..
Is there some independant study or research somewhere showing what Techron actually does for the engine?
Found this info about Techron, but still looking for any empirical data... does it work and is it the best?

Edit: sorry, got carried away with cut and paste...

From a Chevron Site:
Techron® is Chevron's unique deposit control additive used in all Chevron gasolines to help your car perform at its best with lower emissions. Virtually every car on the road can benefit from using Chevron gasolines with Techron® . Only Chevron gasolines have the patented Techron® technology.
Only Chevron gasolines have Techron®.
You can get the performance and environmental benefits of Techron® in all grades of Chevron gasolines – Regular, Plus, Supreme and Supreme Plus. The Supremes contain more Techron® to help clean up deposits faster. No other gasoline can give you Chevron’s Techron® formula which provides unbeatable performance and lower emissions.
Techron® helps protect and maintain your car’s performance.
Lower quality gasolines can leave harmful deposits in your car’s engine. As these deposits accumulate over time, your car may begin to hesitate and stumble during acceleration, or it may begin to knock or lose power. Chevron gasolines with Techron® are unbeatable at cleaning up and avoiding deposits. There is no better way for you to protect and maintain your engine’s performance than by using Chevron gasolines with our Techron® additive.
Techron® helps your car run with the lowest possible emissions.
Unlike some gasoline additives, Techron® does not contribute to harmful deposits in your car’s combustion chamber – deposits that can cause higher emissions. If you are concerned about a cleaner environment, Chevron gasoline with our Techron® additive is a responsible choice over lower quality gasolines.
Exactly what is Techron® anyway?
Techron® is Chevron's latest representative of a family of compounds, called polyether amines, that are highly effective at fighting deposits in an engine's intake system and at avoiding contribution to combustion chamber deposits. Sixteen years ago, after discovering that these compounds were effective deposit control additives, Chevron patented them and has been reformulating and improving them ever since. There are many Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) technical papers, peer-reviewed by the industry, that talk about the benefits of polyether amine deposit control additives versus other types of additives.

The highest i have seen in AZ is 91. Although I just found a listing for "Sunoco Race Fuels" in the phone book, but i am assuming they don't offer consumer services, but I might check for the hell of it.
I think it is wierd the highest in Arizona is 91 since it is hotter out here, i.e. more likely for detonation to occur.
