On base is definately cheapest..my parents swear by it. As for BP/Amoco you should be fine, I remember seeing some claims that their premium gas was the cleanest burning a couple years back. I don't go there because the BP stations near my house charge almost 25 cents more per gallon than any other station which is outrageous. For those prices it had better be good gas haha. If you can get it cheap in Jersey, go for it.

Shell, Exon, BP, Mobile. Whatever is cheaper.

I usually avoid places like Speedway and Marathon.

I'd really be curious to see if people do recommend BP gas.

Amoco was terrible before.. worst stuff out there, since BP took over it's much better.. I posted earlier, and i use BP.. much better fuel economy than the other brands i was using.. I was skeptical of BP, but now i'm a believer..

Has anyone noticed that Shell gas lasts longer than Chevron/Texaco on the tC. And it's not just me being biased. I have a slushie 95 corolla, and the opposite holds true for that car.

Speedway is what I generally use, for the simple ease of it. What do you consider wrong with it?

hmm... it still seems strange that BP isn't on the top tier list... their image seems so high quality

looks like Hess is missing out as well

oh well, haven't even gotten to my second gas fill on my tC (still has the full dealer tank) :D
