Default Fuel type and brand

Guys,

I am picking up a 03 GS300 with 27K miles, what is the best fuel type and brand for the car? I live in the NY metro area.

Thanks in advance.

As the EPA has set the requirements for the various fuels available all over the country, who is to say? They are constantly changing. Insure there is a hose filter in-line with the nozzle, which ever brand you decide on.

I use Chevron 91 here in the west. I try not to vary brands, but run the same fuel.
