chevron is ok, but not exceptional imo. it may be "clean", but it
doesn't seem that great on energy content. 76 used to be good, but now
sucks since it was sold to conoco. shell is ok.
in general, california gas sucks. special single state formulation is
ridiculous and inflates prices. 91 octane is the highest available.

In the most sensitive car I've had, a 1984 Nissan 300ZX with manual tranny,
76 was most convenient to me but was terrible for injector cleanliness. When
the clutch started getting tricky (every couple months) I'd put in a tank of
Chevron or Texaco and it would straighten out within a hundred miles or so.
Shell should be as good, as should BP where it is sold (not around here).
Dunno about California.
