which brand of gas does your car run best on?
Additives in gas are long-term things, there is no way a different additive package is going to make a car run better from tank to tank. The additives have nothing to do with friction. Perhaps after 20K miles, the engine will be slightly cleaner with a different additive package, but it's not going to run better the first time you switch to a gasoline with a different additive package, anymore than thinking the car is running better because you change the brand of motor oil you use.
All cars seem to run better after a wash. Sorry, but people's perception about how well their car is running is extremely subjective and is subject to all kinds of interfering "noise" (weather, humidity, ambient pressure, traffic, etc.) that make subjective judgements extremely unreliable. All the objective data says that gasoline from the same area and time of year is the same from all the brands, except for very minor differences in the additive packages which can't possibly affect the day-to-day running of the car. Those are the facts.

You miss the point... saying "it just runs better" is purely subjective. Just like your car "feels" better afeter an oil change. It's all in your head... that is unless you've got truly bad gas w/ high water content.
I run whatever's closest to me when I need gas in all of my vehicles. Regular in the truck and premium in the Z06, never notice any kind of difference in performance ever.

+1 for Wawa sucking
ah. finding out more now. see ive always wonder about that, but i have never paid attention. i used to work at a Texaco and the gas truck was from Texaco.
I would go to BJs now but they don't have 89 on their pumps (just 87 and 93 - weird).
