Anyway, I just use Costco, because I agree with others who said the freshness of the fuel is more important than brand. Also most gas stations are holes in the wall, with horribly maintained pumps and everything is filthy. The Costco station here is super maintained, there's always somebody cleaning and polishing the pumps, cleaning up spills, and you'll never have to worry about a broken hose spraying you with gasoline (yeah, that's happened to me). I guarantee it comes from the same refineries as the other stations, and it's cheaper.
In Seattle you can’t find anything above 91 octane.
