It's hard to say that one gas is better than another one. Their effect on 
performance varies a great deal, even between two identical cars coming off
the assembly line next to each other. Gas companies and refineries put in
various additives in their gasolines, to discourage condensation, internal rust,
and so forth. It's even possible to get bum gas by filling up your tank right
after the gas station has refilled its storage tanks, and the slop on the bottom
is still stirred up. Trial and error is the only way, if you're keen enough to
detect any difference at all. Just stay with the major brands, like Exxon, Gulf,
Shell, etc. 

The above information is derived from a book entitled, "Drive it Forever." I 
forget the author, but he is a former president of the SAE (Society of Auto-
motive Engineers). If you are serious about getting your buck's worth out  of
a car, this book is a MUST read.
