Car & Driver article on which gas to use, specifically "Top Tier" gas.
Though this was an interesting read.

I didn't realize that auto manufacturers have gathered together to discuss what qualifies as "quality" gas. Now that they've come to a decision...and set the standards for it, we can make sure our cars receive "top tier" gasoline.

Intresting bit, but to me just about all 93 oct gas is 93 oct. I've used gas from many companies and never can tell a differance. Even though chevron brags on having the best.

so they mention the VP streetblaze 100 gas, but it looks very tedious when it comes to purchasing some, you have to e-mail the dealer then arrange shipping, and it doesn't even mention price. the nearest dealer to my area is around 300+ miles away to ship a drum of gasoline. it looks pretty costly. i think it'd be interesting to try it out on my daily driver. however, how would someone know whether or not you had "street legal gas" in your vehicle, i don't think they'd be able to tell even if you purchased their non street legal gas and put it in your car.

I've personally always thought that Shell and Exxon gas is horrible. If you notice, the GM rep did say that "you get what you pay for" and Amoco (BP) is probably one of the most expensive fuels on the market.
