I always go with the big name stuff. Usually Shell, or Chevron. I stay
away from the mom&pop variety.
There were some times I had no choice and gassed up with mom&pop and my
cars ran terrible. My experience is that a lot of these places have
water and contaminants in their tanks, let alone inferior gasoline
blends. Check your gas filter after using it and you'll see.
Side note: it's been pointed out on the list that shelf life of gas
nowadays is real short, so I try to use up the gas within a few weeks so
I'm always using fresh gas. Some of these mom&pop places in the boonies
may not get resupplied often so the shelf life may be shorter.
