I always buy major brands as their quality control is normally good and they turn over their inventory quickly. When the seasons change their refineries wholesale their out-of-date gas off to the no-name discount joints. And where do you suppose their slightly-off-spec stuff goes - into their own stations? That's what you're getting for saving a few cents per gallon. I don't have any high-performance cars, and have not noticed any difference in fuel economy between brands. But on a recent long summer trip, my kids in the 83 240 seemed to get a bit better mileage while in Canada than the California (RFG) parts.
