I thought so but found that gas from BJ's resulted in a 2-3 MPH drop in MPG. All calculated and recored on fuelly. Very obvious.

Not relative to mileage, but performance... a member of the car club I used to belong to works at one of the oil industry labs in Calgary. He told us that after testing "across the board", they found ESSO to burn cleaner and hotter. It's the only brand he and his colleagues use. I don't go out of my way to find it, but will always choose ESSO when possible. Never did do a scientific test, but my MX-5 seems to prefer it for performance. Of course, that car uses premium and my CX-5 uses regular. Don't really care what the CX-5 mileage is because the Xterra I got rid of was averaging 19 on the highway! I can say for sure the CX-5 is wayyyy better.
I found a dealer that has SkyActiv Premium Fuel with Moly. It is specially engineered for SkyActiv engines and provides superior mileage and protection. (couldn't help it (wink))
Actually, I cannot say that I have noticed any difference in fuels from varied sources. Many of my CX-5's miles were out of state leaving little opportunity to be choosy.

If "Mazda SkyActiv Moly Premium Gasoline" is indeed available at my Mazda dealer, I definitely would try it and see if my gas mileage could reach 30+ mpg! Hopefully it's not too expensive though.

Anyone in South Jersey or Philly use gas from WaWa? I have used it, but have not heard good news from those that have tried it regularly. My motorcycle absolutely refused to run without stalling on their brand having tried and given up a few times. Our CX5 has spent most of its life on it, but when I fuel elsewhere it seems to run much better.

That's good to know, thanks for the tip. Next time I change my blinkers fluid, I'll use the Mazda brand with moly in it. Hopefully they'll blink faster. (couldn't help it either).

No, you don't need "Mazda blinkers fluid with moly". Simply swap your current incandescent bulbs to LEDs and they'll blink really fast!

We don't have Arco in Texas but heard the same thing many times when we're visiting friends and families in California. "Arco gas is the cheapest but don't use it!" So Costco has been our choice there even though the line is always long!

Well, the Mazda Moly oil is a farce that does nothing for mileage in my experience, so I wouldn't expect much from the gasoline, if it does exist.
When I lived in San Diego, ARCO was considered "watered" down and the prices were always considerably cheaper. Often found in the "hood". Again not sure if its really true but I could've sworn Shell or Chevron (despite costing more) gave me better mpgs on my CRX and BMW 325i to validate my higher purchase cost.
Costco seems to be the universally approved best gas in the US.
Most interesting place where I got gas was from a fuel station at the docks in San Diego where they unload Honda's from the boat. Filled up my CRX. This was during my job as a security guard in my early 20's working a graveyard shift there. One night I got bored and hopped into a new s2000 and went for a joyride. Nothing like experiencing vtec kick in during the early 2000's.

Now I know why is every brand-new car just unloaded from truck to the dealers having different odometer readings ...

I just put 14.6 gallons of 87 octane ZERO ethanol fuel in my gas tank. My mileage is CONSISTENTLY 22.5-23.5mpg, for the last I dunno, 15K miles? If there is a variance worth noting due to zero ethanol, I'll see it.

Most of the posts in this thread give me the feeling that many of you didn't pay much attention in middle school science class when they taught the scientific method.
How much of a difference are you guys expecting to see between different brands of gas?
Take Unobtanium for example...
His mileage differs by over 4% from tank to tank for no reason at all. It's impossible for him to measure the ~3% improvement he will get from ethanol free gas by running a single tank.
Even 10 tanks don't prove anything at all unless he can accurately compensate for factors such as temperature, seasonal fuel blends, wind ect..
It's a proven, easily verifiable fact that ethanol has less energy per volume than pure gasoline, so whatever his little experiment "proves" doesn't mean anything at all.
