Default What brand of gas does everyone use?

I know there are a lot of threads on gas and brands and octane... but have a question

I use phillips 66 91 Premium, as there are no chevrons here in Nebraska....

I was going to switch to shell for 5000 miles however I noticed they use 10% ethanol in the 92 V-Power? Just getting an idea of what gas people are using...

Don't really pay attention to the "brand". I just get premium from wherever is convenient.

Chevron, Shell, or 76 are my preferred choices.

Same. And I don't know how true this is, but I've heard Chevron stations may not always use "Chevron gas" or Exxon stations won't always use "Exxon gas", etc. The stations just get their supply from whatever regional distribution company can service them. Furthermore, the distribution company gets it from whatever storage facility they can access.

For example, there is a Marathon storage facility not far from where I live and I see all types of trucks driving out of there. From distribution companies to trucks actually labeled with another gas company's name.

Gas is the same but the additive packages differ by brand.
