I don't give it any thought. When I'm home I go to Costco. If I'm on the road I stop at the next available station when I become concerned. I've been lucky. In 63 years of driving I've probably had a problem with contamination one time and have never had a problem with performance.

anything above 91 usually that means 93 in this area, Citgo, Safeway, Costco, Sunoco, whatever is cheapest close to home.

Same here.

Usually Chevron, unless I'm away from home, then just whatever is available. Not a big deal.

Chevron Supreme - 91 here in Cali, wish we could get 94 like some of the previous posts mention, but mine has been running fine on 91.

Exxon 93, everytime since I bought it. Except when the dealer filled it... probably Cheap-O-Free 89 gas

Statoil 98 RON, as recommended by Toyota.
That's equivalent to 94 of your puny American octane
