COnsidering most of the gas comes out of the same refineries, all that is different is the detergents that they add. So, I would say no. I don''t see any difference.

I wouldn''t look at it so simplistically..True..the BULK gasoline is refined by the same refinery or done the same way..But the key ingredient as y''all pointed out, is the additives..and there are superior additives and there are inferior additives...Like baking a cake...what makes the good cake from the so-so cake is all in the way the ingredients are put in and blended.

Yeah I try to stay clear of the mom and pop stations! Never run anything less than 93 or 91! I used a little of 89 and my car didn''t like it at all. Just the sheer worry of it isn''t worth it at all.
