Can't say I've ever noticed a difference between brands of gasoline in any
car.  It likely all is coming from the same refinery in any given area,
anyway.

I dunno what Meijer puts in their "premium diesel" but it's pretty good
stuff.  My diesel Vanagon seems to like it, and a friend of mine who came
out for a visit remarked (without me saying anything) his Dasher ran
smoother than usual on it. I don't know if they sell it everywhere or if
my Meijer is just special -- they have CNG, kerosene, and LPG, too.
