What type of gasoline do you use?

In Southern California, buy your premium gas at Costco, if you can. You'll be getting the exact same gasoline sold at "brand name" stations for several cents-per-gallon less. And, since they sell huge volumes of it, it's always fresh.
If the tiny amount of "additives" in Shell or Chevron or Texaco or Who-done-it make a noticeable difference in the way your car "performs," you're exactly the kind of customer big oil company advertising was designed for

Agree. If you are racing competitively, then go for it. Otherwise, it just doesn't make that much difference.

Found a very interesting NEW stickers today at Chevron! I never saw this before...
I mostly used Chevron 94, but I never knew the 94 didn't have any ethanol (or maybe this is new). Obviously, I'd only be doing the 94 Octane, with NO ETHANOL from now on .
I find it interesting we up north get better gas, I've never found anything over 92 octane down south. There actually used to be one Shell gas station with 96 Octane gas a few years back, but it's long gone now!

I use shell cuz they have the best commericals! 
Kidding its usually shell or chevron. In addition I use a bottle of techron 2x a year on all my cars
BTW w/ the DFI engines Im going to guess that the quality of the fuel is important.
