Exxon made my engine knock. I don't know why, I just haven't put it in my tank in a long time.

Other than that I don't see a difference between Amoco, Sunoco and Hess.

I'm a brand snob except when I'm in FW.

I typically go to Exxon, Chevron, Conoco, or Citgo. Don't like Shell much, tho I will put Pennzoil in my car.

Texaco is only if I'm in the middle of nowhere and there's nothing else around.

10 Things Gas Stations Won't Tell You
Oil companies spend lots of money explaining why their gas is better than the competition’s. Chevron’s gas, for example, is fortified with “Techron,” and Amoco Ultimate is supposed to save the planet along with your engine. But today more than ever, one gallon of gas is as good as the next.

True, additives help to clean your engine, but what the companies don’t tell you is that all gas has them. Since 1994 the government has required that detergents be added to all gasoline to help prevent fuel injectors from clogging. State and local regulators keep a close watch to make sure those standards are met; a 2005 study indicated that Florida inspectors checked 45,000 samples to ensure the state’s gas supply was up to snuff, and 99 percent of the time it was. “There’s little difference between brand-name gas and any other,” says AAA spokesperson Geoff Sundstrom.

What’s more, your local Chevron station may sell gas refined by Shell or Exxon Mobil. Suppliers share pipelines, so they all use the same fuel. And the difference between the most expensive brand-name gas and the lowliest gallon of no-brand fuel? Often just a quart of detergent added to an 8,000-gallon tanker truck.

I only use Exxonn Supreme, because it is formulated to meet the demands of todays engines!*

I go with the cheapest each and every time. I had my last truck ten years and my current one eight and never had an issue with either one of them.

I won't use Citgo as it's owned by Hugo Chavez...

I live in a state with a very small population(800K) and in the north east part of the state one guy pretty much controlls all gas distribution. He delivers to most stations so it's hard for me to believe in my state there's much of a difference in gas. My guess is it's all the same, but i do hear to watch out for some small "mom and pop" stations up this way that have a bad rep for wattering down their gas, but who knows?

I'm certain some do. I bought gas in the middle of nowhere one time and my truck ran like crap.

This is true. They do it to make it last longer.
