Has around 1200 miles on it eh? hmm... give it some more time...
I can tell you one thing that's for sure. When I first got my Cobalt SS Supercharged even after it was broken in it didn't feel as fast as it did until I had like over 10k miles on it....

Exactly chances are if a gas station is charging like 5cents less than the majority of gas stations around in the area, and it isn't a brand name gas station (Shell, Chevron, Exxon-Mobil, Texaco, Marathon, 79, BP/Amaco, etc) then the quality of the gas most likely isn't the greatest, and I'd be weary to use their gas. Pay the extra couple cents and get a high grade gasoline. Your engine, and wallet will love you because better quality gasoline burns more efficiently...
I personally always use gas from either Shell (94 octane) or 93 octane from BP. I do also drive a supercharged car so I don't put in anything less, with only a 12gal tank... and getting some decent mileage I can afford to...
Anyways my old man is a test driver who has over 30 years seniority with GM. At the Milford proving grounds they use BP grade gasoline and the mechanics and techs have said that BP is their preference of gasoline.
But gasoline, is just like oil, everyone has their own preference...
