Shell 93 because i get winn dixie fuel perks with it... but really, i'd go for anything with top tier rating. They had to go through extra testing and use extra detergents above industry minimum to get/maintain the rating, and BMW endorses it so why not

I found the same results as you. Chevron was the best in my logs. It's either Mobil uses less ethanol in their gas, or the quality/octane of the gas just isn't the same. It's probably the latter

Chevron 94. Take a look at the Button at the pump, it will say minimum 94 octane at chevron. At others it will say maximum 93-94. No guesses with what octane you're getting with chevron.

Cali had only 91 at their stations? I refuse to ever put 91 when I went into this southern gas station in Illinois. Ghetto
