Considering the fact that they all come from the same place (yes, it's true, see "fungible fuels" thread), the only decisions you have to make are based on the additives/detergent (and price).
Generally the additives are too diluted to make much difference (although Chevron's Techron is the favorite for the Infiniti crowd). Newer stations have newer underground tanks with less sediment and yuck in them...
Keep using the premium from a station you trust and run a tankload of BG44K (what Techron is, but full strength) every oil change.
Go drive that thing!!!

If it wasn't his own car why be concerned so much about the Gas.
Two parameters about a gas station:
-Newness-Brand
Go with as new a station as possible.Chevron has great additives but so do the other great name brands, Shell, Amoco, BP
I always gas up either at a no name that is brand new here or at a Chevron.

Hey AZhitman. I just have to ask you about your recommendation of using the BGK44 gas treatment. I have a J30 97.5, with about 51,000 miles on it that I just purchased. I had average about 31 mpg on the drive home (1200) after purchasing the car, but only about 16mpg around the city (less than 40mph). Then after following a few people's advice on this board, I just used a can of the BGK44 during my last fill-up, and now I'm looking at about 10mpg half-way through my tank of gas. I can also smelled a little gas in the exhaust, which was there before I added the BGK44 treatment. My car runs great, though. I don't have any power-related problems. Just wondering if the low miles-per-gallon is normal with the usage of this gas treatment product, and if you have any thoughts about the gas smell in the exhaust.
I'm located here in Iowa City, and it just recently gotten really cold this past week. On Monday when I took the car out in the morning, where it was 23 degrees, I swear I heard a hissing sound coming from the gas tank area, behind the back seats everytime I hit the gas peddle. I went underneat the car, as best I could without jacking it up, with a flashlight and every hose coming from the gas lid area to the tank that I could see where fine, showing no evidence of a gas leak. Any advice would be appreciated. Take care all.
