I use Chevron since they put Techron in their gas as a cleaning additive. I think there was some research done into Techron and it showed that it cleaned the injectors quite well.

Unocal 76 or Exxon (cheapest preminum gas around here).

Unocal 76. Because it's consistently cheaper than Shell or Chevron for premium. I've been thinking about changing anyway because the 76 station uses one pump for all 3 grades of gas and you switch the grades by pushing a button, whereas the Chevron has seperate pumps for all 3 grades. Is this just paranoia that some of the other grade of gas is getting mixed in? Is the amount of mixture insignificant?

It is insignificant, unless you only put in a small amount.
