I've had great luck with Chevron, havne't used anything else.  My
parents used Gulf (no longer available, no wonder) for a while in their
4000, got clogged injectors.  When they started using Chevron in about
'87 they had no problems either.
For a short while I had some sulfurous stench with the Chevron but it
went away shortly after the station in my neighborhood got new tanks.
