Me I have a Shell, Marathon and Sunoco card so whatever is closest to me when I need gas is where I go. 93 in the Monte as that what I'm tuned for, and 87 in the KIA.
Wow really? Around here it only says Sheetz on the signs and receipts, with no indication of a brand.

Here in PA if its branded, they give no indication of it. It's not on the signs or receipts.

You don't want to know how much gas prices is in Chicago
It's a little cheaper where I live up north but not great.

Could be because ours are not full Sheetz stations? They were originally Circle K stations which use other peoples gas, same owners of the Circle K switched them to a Sheetz, and they currently get filled by Marathon or BP trucks not Sheetz trucks. Maybe they'll switch over to whatever Sheetz is at some point.

I pretty much put in whatever 89 I feel like putting in. If she put in anything less then 91, just go easy on the car for a while, it isn't being sluggish from the brand of gas.

you run a wideband?

FYI my brother in law was filling his car at quik trip couple of weeks ago (my sisters '09 audi a4 2.0T) He always uses premium 91 and that's what he used the last time (he's got the receipts to prove it). Well out of nowhere the car starts acting up and staling, shaking and stuff, took it to the dealer and they told him there was e85 in his gas tank , they were charging 600+ for repairs, we decided to drive it out and fill it up again with premium at another gas station and we'll be replacing the fuel filter soon, but yeah crazy stuff, just letting ya'll know.

That 3.93$/ 1 gallon is for 93 octane BP gas. Although 87 costs about 3.70$/ 1 gallon or 3.60$/ 1 gallon. My dad was telling me there was a time when people literally washed their hands with gas. If you ask me it is all because of OPEC
