Gasoline station and octane preference

Hey, just had a question for people. What are your gasoline station and octane preferences?

So far from having my 09 tsx for 2 weeks, I've only filled her up with Chevron 91 octane. Im thinking about using 94 octane. Just wondering what others prefer and use.

Thanks

Also, the gains from anything higher than 91 are negligible.

Really? I find there's more Chevrons around. But that could be in the areas that I'm mostly around. During my daily travels I only come across 1 Shell and about 6 Chevrons.

We're in Edmonton so no Chevrons for us, so Shell 91 is the best we get

91 is good enough. i put 92 octane at shell in blaine across the border and drive back with 3 jerry cans to last me 3 weeks altogether.
gas is way cheaper there 1.03 a litre for premium you cant go wrong
