Has anyone experimented with different gas?

All gas at all gas stations is basically the same. It all comes from the same pipeline and storage facility. The only difference is when the different companies pick it up they ad thier own additives to the mix to make it thier own special blend. So someone like BP is going to use a better additive then say the walmart gas stations.
Additives are the only difference, and that's not much of a difference really.

While you are correct about their being a difference in the additives, I don't believe its fair to claim that it is the only difference. We've seen up to a 4% varience in ethanol blended fuels (almost all gas station have this) here in Colorado.

Like I said, here our Kwik Trip gas stations get the fuel tanked from Nothern WI. There is a refinery less than 30 minutes away from Milwaukee, but thats not where they are getting their gas. The BP I go to has an Open Pantry tanker, so Im not sure if they are picking it up from the Great Lakes Refinery or from somewhere else. The gas doesnt always come from the same place.
