I always fill up at my local BP, and when travelling, Sheetz (if no BP is available).
I had a 2004 Mustang GT that didn't like running on anything else, and most recently, I had a 2010 Nissan Maxima that dropped 3 MPGs when I switched to Mobil for 3 tanks. After consistently bad mileage, I went back to BP, and went right back up to normal MPGs.
My new 2011 EB will only be getting BP and Sheetz

Yeah I got the point, I was just adding some useful information. Obviously not everyone's experience will be as painless as mine was. Sometimes it doesn't matter where you buy your gas, **** happens. The station I visited was a brand new BP. But it is still a good idea to buy from a newer station(newer tanks) with a good rep, and top tier gas.
You are absolutely right! All we can do is control what we CAN control, no sense worrying about the rest.
On a side note, I switched to Chevron, since I got a credit card through them that gets me $0.10 off per gallon, and within a tank, all of my vehicles seem to be running noticably better, and get on average about 0.5 mpg better than the cheap stuff. Combine the better mpg with the narrowing of the fuel price, and I actually have lowered my monthly fuel bill and have better running vehicles to boot.

Oh yeah, it never has a running ballance. The only reason I use it is for fuel, and to get the discount along with better running vehicles (for my vehicles anyway).
