My buddys mom does gas testing for a living. Basically its all the same shit but chevron and shell are a little bit cleaner. Ampm has the highest octane rating but is also one of the dirtiest. Hope that helps.

100% accurate, I've done my own test by running 2 tanks in the S of each major brand and pulling the plugs and came to a similar conclusion myself

Yep, the gas all comes from the same place. The difference between brands are the cleaners that they add (ie: Techron from Chevron).
