Just a curiosity of mine, what fuel do you guys and girls run in your car most often?
Is it just out of convenience or do you go out of your way to select a certain brand?
There are a few options on that list that I hope get no votes at all, but I had to cover all bases

I notice that there are two responses with 91 Octane fuel being used, one with a comment on 98 not being required.
The NA's are high compression engines and as such should be run on a high octane fuel, like 98. The tune allows the engine to run on 91 octane, but with reduced torque and increased fuel consumption.
The high octane fuel allows the ECU to rune the engine on the Hi-Octane fuel and spark maps - they are waaaay different to the Lo-Octane fuel and spark maps.
My Evo9 runs on BP98 form the local servo, but I would convert to E85 in a heartbeat if it was available nearby.

Most consumer fuel 91 - 98 comes from the same place.
regardless of the brand.
I think what is important is filling up at a service station that takes pride in their maintenance and with continuous flow of customers so that their tanks are being refilled with "fresh" fuel.
nothing worse than paying for 98 and having the knock sensor go ape because the fuel is old.
or even worse. high % of water....
I fill with 98 when i can. 91 when driving in country
