Whats the highest octane gas you can buy from a station and what runs the best and gets the most performance? I was told to use BP products only (Arco and tower i believe?)

High octane gas is not going to do anything but empty your wallet if you don't need it. Plus you will need to retune to get any extra power out of it unless your experiencing detonation right now.
Gasoline all comes from the same place. Its just the additives that make it different at the pump. Everyone has their preference when it comes to brands.

for the stang i like Shell, or chevron 91 only, but its tuned for 91-93octane. anything less and shell ping. ( we used to call a girl in middle school ping, cause thats the sound thats made when you hit someone in the face with a flat head shovel )
for the land cruiser i run the cheap 87 shit from whoever.

Chevron/76 is the best gas followed by shell etc
You don't need higher octane if your engine doesn't require it.
