I still believe it's all the same. Sure some of the additives are different but all the fuel comes from the same 4 distributors (I think it's only 4).

Last time I did some research I believe it showed ARCO has surprisingly good quality fuel but just not the same massive levels of additives like Chevron.

I have ran several cars: ITR, NSX, S2000, FRS, Prelude and my race car on ARCO with no noticeable affects, ever. It's just gasoline. Unless it's stored improperly or is heavily contaminated there should be very little difference station to station.
