I've always used Chevron for my Yaris, but I'm thinking about switching to Shell for my Supra.
I read BMW has recommended Shell V-Power® NiTRO+ Premium Gasoline for all BMW M models since 2015....

I try to get shell’s dino juice whenever I can for all my vehicles.

I think generally speaking, manufacturers don’t recommend specific brands, rather they specify types or parameters. In any case, here’s what the manual says:

The previous page starts with gasoline being sulfur-free or very low in sulfur.

I just stick with whatever Top Tier brand that I can find. Supposedly, the additive packages are above and beyond the normal regulations for gasoline refinery/distributors.

I use Conoco, because the Conoco near me has E85

 

[AustinGRSupra]

V-Power only!

My order of preference: Chevron, then Shell, then any Top Tier station.

Chevron did work for BMW long ago (think E30, E36 timeframe) on a chemical to help with the carbon build-up in BMWs. That chemical is called Techron.

I don't know if it really matters if you're on an E blend.



If it does, then i'm on a Chevron/ E-85 mix for E50 lol

I’m sure it’s placebo effect, but I’m 66.6% convinced my car makes more pops and bangs on Shell vs Chevron or Fred Meyer premium. ?

Now you know which stations to avoid.

But it is in your head.

Shell is rated at most 91 octane here, so I use Chevron which sells a 94 octane. Our manual recommends 93 octane.

I'd read that some enthusiasts in the area (Evo owners, I think?) had more success with Shell, perhaps due to its ethanol content, so I tried interpreting timing logs for one tank's worth of each, but the data was too noisy to make sense of.
