Do NOT buy arco! There's a reason why it's so damned cheap! Haha you get what you pay for. I would suggest any of the following 3 in this order 1. Chevron 2.shell Vpower & 3. Mobil 1, 91 octane obviously

Arco gas claims its top tier but I've compared the way my cars run with all 4 stations and I am the happiest with chevron. I noticed better throttle response, tank duration, and just overall smoothness of power output

Lmao yeah I hear some states do carry 93 octane which is BS! If Cali has the strictest emissions laws then why not provide cleaner gas with better octanes?!

I would like to hear your thoughts on 76.

You know I don't think 76 gas is actually bad, I've always felt like 76 and shell kind of go at each other and Mobil 1 and chevron are head to head. Of course I still trust chevron over any other but I'm not sure I tested 76...

Guess I've never really been that drawn to it :/ sorry man I'd love to elaborate more but I don't have enough experience with it to give you a good, quality, honest opinion at the time. Maybe I'll decide to try it a couple of times just to give feedback haha.
