gas is gas is gas
it all comes out of the same supply tank
If your car is older, I would definitely opt for the BP.
I had a 98 Ford Explorer that didn’t like anything but the best gasoline. I tried putting Meijer and Thorntons gas in to fill up the tank back when gas was expensive, and it really made my engine chug and perform like garbage.
If your car is newer, I’d say Sam’s Club gas is OK. I’ve been using that in my new 06 Hyundai Santa Fe, and it works great. However, I take great care of my car, and rarely let my tank run past half-empty. I fill up every time my gas economy says I have 180 miles left to drive.
(Same as I used to do with my Explorer; and I’m convinced I got extra years out of that car, it still runs to this day, although my brother now has that car, and he doesn’t take care of it at all; it’s kind of sad.)
Mostly a marketing ploy. Maybe Invigorate gas has more of some detergent etc., in it, but all gasoline sold in the USA must meet certain requirements regarding detergent properties, anti-gumming agents etc. so that it will not cause any of the problems that the BP Invigorate gas claims to “cure”.
All cars made for the USA market are designed to run properly on any gasoline that passes the above requirements (which should be any gasoline sold at any gas station in the USA). I’d save the money and buy the cheaper gas.
If you’re still concerned about fuel-related deposits in the engine, just run some Chevron Techron fuel system cleaner (or a similar name-brand product that doesn’t cost a fortune) through a tank of gas after every oil change and you should be fine.
