Maybe I'm the only one, but I refuse to buy anything from Exxon. After the Valdez eco-disaster and Exxon's subsequent, and somewhat successful attempts to turn that problem into a taxpayer one disgusts me. Since Exxon and Mobil joined at the hip Mobil is now in the pile of places I will not patronize.

In DC, I seem to have good results with Amaco which is now Amaco/BP. Nice stations, competively priced fuels, and for a natural resource exploiting company, seems to be on track for good things. I.E. alternative fuel research, expanding beyond oil, and a sound policy to contribute to this planet and not just take from her.

When I pass through PA, or am other wise presented with a Sunoco, they get my money. A nice tank of high octane (94) Sunoco ultra really makes my engines purr. I usually get another 4-5 mpg (this increases the range on my Volvo wagon by around 75 or 100 miles). Plus I can really feel the increased performance the turbo exhibits. More pronounced torque, more fluid spool ups, and all around more enjoyable to drive.
