You guys who think there are dramatic differences between gasoline from different companies should invest an hour or so researching the production chain from raw crude to your gas tank. You might realize that many different fuel stations draw gasoline from the same refinery and the refinery doesn't make the gasoline differently depending on which truck is picking up the fuel. Each gasoline company cannot have their own refinery in each and every market, it just isn't feasible so they contract to buy refined product from each other. Therefore, as long as the blend is the same (more ethanol will give you lower MPG) the main factors you should be looking for are fresh product (stations that sell a lot of fuel since gasoline ages, especially quickly when it's blended with ethanol) and clean product (how often do they change their filters and what kind of condition are their tanks in). All other factors are relatively minor.
