what kind gas do you use for your X6 5.0i or 3.5i?

Hi, everyone~!

Right now, I'm using 92 from chevron for my X6 5.0i.
I'm thinking should I go with 94 instate of 92?
Plz let me know what kind gas do you use for your X6 5.0i or 3.5i and what you think of other gas?

92/94 octane gas

I have run both chevron 92 & 94 in my 3.5i. i think i may be getting a little better mpg on 94, otherwise any difference in performance is more psychological than real for me.

Just got back from a 5000 miles road trip.
Shell, Chevron and Texaco 93 rating returned the best fuel economy>23 mpg @ 72-75mph.
I also observed the fuel economy with Conoco was very poor(<18mpg)at low speed, but at speeds around 80mph returned over 22 mpg.
