I havent had any troule with any gas company.  I have used Amoco, Pilot,
Speedway, Flying-J truck stop, Citco, BP, even Meijers grocery store.  I
cant tell the difference in any of them.

In my 82 air cooled, I have been using standard regular 87 octane with
no ill effects.  The only reason to use high octane (octane 92+) is if
your vehicle requires it- either its rated for it or you get pinging
when using regular.  I get no pinging on mine using regular.  Maybe try
regular and see what happens.
