I just go with whatever's handy, usually the Shell station near the
house or the BP near where I work. I'll usually avoid the
independents, because of a bad experience with tainted gasoline a
couple of decades ago.

My understanding is that MMT isn't widely used, mainly because it can
have effects on many newer engines from a range of companies, but I
haven't followed the issue closely.

And as far as the Top Tier gas, when I bought the Civic, the Honda
dealership gave me a $100 gas card from....

Exxon/Mobil, which isn't on the list.
