I chose other because I usually stop at Quick Trip and have no clue what brand they use? It's the cheapest around here and they have nice clean stores too!

Well, that sorta depends on where/when your buying it.

(from Wiki)

"On June 3, 2013,[6] BP sold ARCO and the Carson Refinery to Tesoro for $2.5 Billion. BP sold its Southern California terminals (Vinvale, Colton, San Diego, Hathaway, and Hynes) to Tesoro Logistics LP, including the Carson Storage Facility. BP will continue to own the ampm brand and give it to Tesoro for Southern California, Arizona, and Nevada. BP exclusively licensed the ARCO rights from Tesoro for Northern California, Oregon, and Washington."

Ok, granted, before I started using the no-name small-fry brand gas, my last two cars used Shell exclusively.

Shell V Power 93
or
BP

If I had Chevron in my area I would go there. I would love to have a small perpetual amount of techron in my tank at all times. Some people I know run a bottle of techron by adding and burning through one tank of gas before every oil change.
