At a 98 cent per gallon difference (extreme, its usually about 50 cents per gallon more), I'm going to Arco which is just as convenient.
For those who say you own a BMW so you shouldn't worry about gas price. I don't. I just worry about getting completely screwed and try to avoid it when I can. Its simply a matter of principle.

Exactly this. If you want to get into the nuts and bolts you could/should definitely look into top tier brands. There was even an retired fuel guy on this thread who basically confirmed it's all the same, the cost difference is the proprietary blend (marketing) of the same ingredients that they all use.
