I'm about to supercharge my car and know that I will be using premium grade fuel. Is there any Toyota-preferred gasoline company? I did a search and it seems Ferrari recommends Shell. I'm no Ferrari, but I usually fill up at BP (Amoco). I remember seeing a list a while back with a few gas companies that are better for Toyota engines because of something in the gas. Does anyone have that? or does anyone if there is a recommended company by Toyota?
I know this won't make a noticeable difference, but figured since gas prices are pretty mcuh the same around town I might as well fill up at the best place. Thanks. --------------------  |

Hehehe... you guys sure buy into "gimmicks" pretty easily. Granted the fuels are slightly different due to processing differences and additives, but it's not gonna matter to the engine unless it has something to do with octane. Even still, higher octane only makes the fuel more resistant to pre detonation. It has nothing to do with power really... and the ONLY cars that REQUIRE high octane fuel are those with higher compression... say 10:5 or higher... or if they're heavily boosted and generate a LOT more heat...
