Default What gas stations??

I have read several studys showing that different brands of gas can make a large difference. I read that diferences can range up to 60 miles per tank. I personally like BP(amaco) the only reason that i use it is it is recommended right on our GAS CAPS. Citgo ( which i call s***go) I notice a performance drop.
I have tried V-power from shell which is also good. What have you all noticed as far as gas???

Apologies in advance for injecting politics but.... Citgo is wholly owned by Venezuela, whose leader, Hugo Chavez, is vehemently anti-American and has publicly called for our destruction. There are lots of quality gas options out there without giving this toad a cent.
Gas is pretty much gas, the octane rating being the most important factor. Many independent stations buy gas in the spot market, so there's often no way to know what refinery produced what you're feeding the pony anyway.

Shell 87

I've heard from a number of people that Shell is the highest quality gas/additives.
