Suggest you get on a site for the BMW car club, the Mercedes car club, the Porsche car club or any other club of luxury cars. Ask them if "all oil changes are the same" and "all gas is the same". Ask them if they trust somebody who works on Kias is to be trusted with their vehicles.
Ever wonder why it costs over $2,000 for a Ferrari oil change? Why a BMW oil change is $70 or more? There is a reason, and it's not gouging the customer.

What warranty? Do you really think a rental car company is going to bend over backwards to fix a $5K engine repair due to poor gas? Please, not in this world.
And I find it funny that you think all gas is the same yet suddenly when you get a car you put synthetic oil in it. Now, if all gas is the same isn't all oil the same?
You've blown your own argument.

<<ALL gas sold in the U.S. has to meet VERY exacting standards, whether it is "Joe's gas" or Mobile. That is a fact.>.
Only in your head. I was forced to buy gas at an off brand gas station for my BMW 325e. It ruined the engine. My friend did the same thing with his BMW 318is.
