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.

Do you really think people here are an accurate sample of the general population? People here are enthusiasts who are willing to spend for performance. If that alone doesn't tell you something... then sorry you just don't get the fact that you've been bought by a gimmick. Kinda like Starbucks coffee is magically better so it's OK to spend twice as much... yet Consumer Reports's blind taste tests show consumers picking McDonalds' "cheap" coffee over Starbucks. Heheh... yeah. In the end... it's your money... do as you will. If these other "cheap fuels" were that bad... why/how are they even still competing?
