Who uses what? What kind is good gas?
Exxon, Shell, Chevron, Phillips?
They have a discount gas place here called "Maverick" but I think they put water in their gas to give like 4 cents off per gallon.

Water does not mix with gas. Nobody adds water to gas. It is illegal, it wont mix, a certain level of it is on the bottom of EVERY station's underground gas tanks as its measured and monitored and the filters on the pumps will stop gas flow from the pump when water passes through it. There is very little diffference from one brand to another, and most stations get their gasoline form only a handful of distributors, so in most cases, Shell gas, is Exxon gas, is Gulf gas, is Mobile gas, is Chevron gas, is 7 Eleven gas, is Goober's Deluxe gas, is............ To say Exxon gas is better than 7 Eleven gas is like saying that the ITP Holeshots from Dennis Kirk are better than ITP Holeshots from Rocky Mountain ATV.

They may not mix water in gas but they can mix methanol, alcohol and other types of crap in it. I can tell good gas just by the smell.

This is true, they do use differnet levels of additives, (methanol IS alcohol)but the additives and their levels are based on local environmental regulations not brand name.

indian reservations and their tax free gas comes with free water, I can tell you that, I don't run any of that garbage in my machines.

I run the 94 octane in my mowers and trikes and yard machines.
