I can afford the gas thank you very much and I do fill it with premium gas at non-cheapo gas stations. Even in my mom's glorified Camry which can run on regular fuel but I choose to run a cleaner fuel and put 93 octane in. So don't go assuming that I should trade my car for an econobox.

I use Costco gas. Probably pretty crappy, but they are cheap.

IIRC, Costco buys their gas from Redwood Coast Petroleum in the Bay Area, and Redwood is one of Chevron's biggest jobbers.
