I usually fill close to my house, so I usually check with Gasbuddy for the best price among Top Tier stations near me--usually Exxon, Chevron, or Shell. I don't use non-Top Tier in anything except my lawn equipment which all have carburetors and it probably doesn't matter with them.

Always Chevron premium when I'm home. 100%
If I'm traveling, I go to Chevron (or Shell, if Chevron is not convenient).
My logic is that if I can afford to buy a Corvette, then I can certainly afford an extra ~8 cents a gallon to feed it top tier gas. I've never understood those who will spend $50k+ on a sports car, then go as cheap as humanly possible on gas, tires, oil, etc.
Nothing wrong with wanting cheap transportation, but if that's your goal, why on earth buy a Corvette, and not a Civic/Corolla/etc for 1/3 the price?

I have, but not as a rule as it doesn't have a top tier rating. It runs just fine in the car. My main go to stations is Shell, Exxon/Mobile.

I use Costco pretty much exclusively for my Vette, mostly because it is the least expensive top tier fuel. If not Costco, then I will usually head over to QuikTrip (QT) which is also reasonably priced top tier fuel.

Chevron. 91 octane is the tops in AZ. I don't like to fill up right in Lake Havasu because it is 20 cents more expensive than on the outskirts of town. In town it is 2.90 per gallon. Must be a city tax or something like that.
