I've been anti-BP for several years, because of the messes they've made before, though I used their Castrol 20W-50 for the camper until the latest fiasco. Switched to Pennzoil 20W-50, but am getting ready to change for the summer to a straight 50 weight.
I don't pay any attention to the brand of gasoline, except for avoidance of Exon (or Mobil depending on locale) and BP. However, I'm beginning to realize that if I want to be environmentally responsible, it's not the brand of fuel I use, but the amount. They are all nasty, both in production and in use.
