Costco here has the best detergent additives based on their advertisements and they are supposed to be 5 times the EPA requirements:

Phillips 66 and Shell are both Top Tier. BP is not, but this may be because Top Tier is essentially a Government Motors standard (they own the Web site, if you haven't noticed.... "whois" can be useful) and BP has historically teamed with Ford.

all stations are held to the same quality standards. depends on the price. i go to Phillips 66 cause its way cheaper than Mobil in my town cause all the Mobil's are either in the center of town or by the highway..

Shell and BP adhere to Tier 1 standards for additives, which means the best detergent qualities and engine protection. Phillips uses a generic additive that does not conform to those standards.

Can't speak to any of those as I can't remember ever buying any in the past several years.

The nly difference is the additives added by each brand. I do not know if any is better than the other.

No difference, they are basically the same gas coming from but one central terminal.
