In the cars that use premium gas, Ive found shell v-power to be quite good.
Conoco seems to be a good choice as well.
There have been queries on this before, do a search and youll find well-established threads with useful info!

Thanks,just curious, there always seems to be some new gas on the market.
Chevron.
7-11 branded petrol gives me the best mileage around here. Sourced from Petro Canada.
Worst is the stuff sold at Wal-Mart, and the ethanol blends sold at various other places.
When driving in the USA, Sinclair always seemed to work the best.

On cars that I have that need 91 oct. Shell's VPower seems to yield about 2-3 extra MPG's.
Ohio Turnpike Sunoco Ethanol Blend(or waz it PA turnpike?)
and
BP

Phillips 66/Conoco does the best for me both MPG and performance wise.
I would say Shamrock after that. BP works pretty decent as well.
I've never had much luck with Chevron MPG wise. The last tank I burned of it did quite well though.

here on the west coast, chevron used to be the best (btu wise). according to my performance tuner, he states that this is no longer the case. 76 gas is the best you can get out here.
my car loves 76 and citgo.

The type of gas doesn't make much difference to me. It's when I drive the four banger as opposed to the SUV that makes a big difference!
mf150,
"76 gas is the best you can get out here." Are you sure about that? Based on what? Seems anything with ethanol in it would start out with a disadvantage, as ethanol only has about 2/3 the energy of gasoline.
I notice 76 is a 'Top Tier' supplier, though....

I don't think it makes a real big difference one way or the other, but that's just my opinion.
FWIW, I usually gas up with Costco 92 octane even for my Civic which doesn't require it. Then again, I also (quite recently started to) use MMO in my fuel, about 6 ounces per tankful. The addition of MMO may lower the octane somewhat so I do have a margin.
I still get about 40 MPG with "county road" driving.

Chevron, Shell, Texaco and Unocal.
Citgo 89 octane in my region gives very good mpg. Also, Phillips 66 93 octane, and Shell V-power are probably best premium grades I've tried for mpg.
When I lived in Florida, Chevron was the best mpg. But since moving to NC, the Chevron station just south of me across the border in SC (closest) has terrible mpg. I think the turnover is slow for that particular station.

Umm, err, what you are getting is not what you think you are getting.
