I use BP, i can see the station from my front yard. I like EXxon too. No Chevrons near me but i've heard its good gas but cost a little more.
I have to add this: My car salesman filled my Mustang with a no name 'Food City' gasoline. You don't have to use BP gas.

My dealer fills up all the cars at a Texaco station even though there's an Exxon/Mobil literally right across their parking lot.

I remember hearing about mid year 2005 Mustangs having a "BP Recomemded" note on either the fuel door or gas cap and I see it's also listed in the 2011 Owners manual (page 293).
With BP's recent PR hit, will you use BP fuel in your 2011 Mustang?
Do you think Ford's recommendation will have an affect on them in any way?

BP Isnt always Ethanol Free. We do not have a Ethanol Mandate in our state but BP here is 10% Ethanol. The only 100% Gasoline we can get is Phillips 66.
If P66 is good enough to be the Motorcraft Oil Supplier then it should be good enough for fuel.
If you are pinging on anyones 93 (and it is 93) its your tune not the fuel. If a simple change in detergent package is enough to trip you over the edge you are to close.
My 2007 never pinged but then my AFR was right and my timing was 29 Degrees. What can I say... Im a whimp.

With my tune, I've noticed:
Chevron 93 = almost no pinging (I notice some pinging that I can't reproduce maybe once a month)
Shell, BP 93 = occasional pinging - happens every time I'm past 4000rpm at WOT
Exxon Mobil 93 = lots of pinging unless I'm extremely gentle
Now I don't even go to other gas stations.. I only go to Chevron.
