Talking with my tuner, he says there's no regulation in CA and the gas can vary from station to station. He says stick with the Big 3 (Chevron, 76, Shell) and the stations with 3 separate pumps is better so there's no cross-mixing between the different octane fuels like with the 3-in-1 pumps.
He has a couple stations in my area he recommends, but they are across town.

I was told by someone that Shell gas was better. Near me I have Chevron, Shell, and 76.

I'm in the SF Bay area, I'd like to hear people's thoughts on CA gas, whether one brand is consistently better, which brands to stay away from, and any recommendations.
