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. --------------------  |

lol additives are not gimmicks at all, but buy the cheapest non branded grocery store gas you can get and then after a couple years have your injectors flow tested and take a look at your piston tops.

Maybe if you guys made an argument about "WHAT" additives do and "HOW" they can affect performance... then the discussion can go on. So far... it's like trying to convince Christians that God in fact did NOT create humans (*GASP*). People can believe whatever they want... but at least have a good reason. "Dirty engines" as you're trying to argue here is almost always caused by the PCV system... you know... excess oil and pressure bleeds off into the intake... which combines with the air/fuel mixture and gets burned.
