Never had a problem with any of our vehicles. Have not noticed improved performance or MPG when using name brand stations on road trips. YMMV.

Oil changes are @ 5K miles too.
I buy almost exclusively ARCO gas.

I like chevron gas too, but I don't pay for it.
I get a $4 bottle of techron from the local auto parts store and add a couple cap-fuls at almost every tankful.
The $4 bottle lasts a year and I save about $15 a week by NOT paying for chevron gas with Techron tm.

Does it make any difference? Not that I can tell, but getting techron gas for basically the same price as arco gas makes me FEEL good.
