Yeah, well it happens...

oxygenated gas from November thru February.  There is debate on this point,
too, but that may be affecting performance.

Bingo!  And I was wondering and wondering why my coupe gets 25-26 mpg in the
summer (ok, when its "warmer", this is New England after all) and 22-23 in
the winter.  That's about 10% and I've been worried maybe that something is
out of whack... it's just the fuel maybe?  

As far as brands, I've never noticed a difference between anybody's 93-94
octane stuff.  Once in a while a "bad tankful" will give me a week of
stumbling and missing, especially at idle, but I just don't go back wherever
that was for a few weeks.
