BlackGlove: Generally I use whatever station is closest to wherever I am at the time I need fuel. Having said that, given a choice I would now probably use Z if I had the choice between a few because paying at the pump is most convenient.
Also, when I'm on my bike I tend to avoid Mobil because I've heard bad things about the ethanol in their fuel, and the stupid fitting on the air machine at the local station is nigh on impossible to get onto the valve on my bike's wheels.

freitasm:hio77: find it a complete nuisance when i have to go to the cashier, tell them that im filling up for them to actually allow it
If I get to the pump and it doesn't work because I have to ask someone to "authorise it" I just put it back and go find other place. "Ain't Nobody Got Time for That"

Many places now have signs that say, if asked, you must go see the attendant.
This allows the attendant to use their discretion.
Profiling is used.
I am a middle-aged, clean-shaven white guy with clean clothes on and I drive a small, clean car.
I am never asked to pre-pay even if the pump has the pre-pay sign on it.
But if a (two or more of the following) young / Maori / dirty / hairy person in a boy-racer / dirty / old car pulls in, they are usually directed to pre-pay unless the attendant knows them.
I've had this happen SO many times at all petrol brands....and sometimes they have an argument with the attendant as I have obviously not been asked to prepay.

Plus I don't like the reduction in economy from the ethanol blends.

Item:
Fair enough - I guess I still think of them as Shell...
I imagine the bulk of their crude and refined petrol still comes from Shell? I know trying to climb atop moral high ground as far as petrol is concerned is a hiding to nothing, but I still like to try and convince myself that I am scratching some kind of ethical itch by avoiding the more obviously ugly Oil companies!
(...I imagine that the Gull petrol still ultimately comes from one of the big players anyway, but still...)
