I use mostly Chevron for my Pilot because there are a lot of their stations in my area and their prices are not too high. If it's not available, my alternative choices are Texaco, Shell, 76 and other brand name companies. I'll pass on the Arco and wholesale gas unless they're the only station around, but I'll only buy the minimum amount of gas to make it to a major brand station that I prefer.

My father had a bad experience with Arco and wholesale gas with his former Cougar, it messed up his fuel system. On a long 2,400 road trip on my other car, using different brands of gas, I found out that the Texaco performed better than others. It could be, the brand matched with the car's tuning and engine type.

If you want performance, you might have to experiment and try the different brands first and then settle on the best gas for your truck.
