What method do you use to distinguish a better gas over a not so good gas?

Doesnt make much sense to use this expensive product (zMax) to maybe get a little better fuel economy,as for making the engine last longerthe Yaris engine with proper maintenance will easily achieve 300k without this additive, as for adding poweradding this stuff over the life of the Yaris it would probably be cheaper to buy a used V8 Mustang.
