Hello,

I hope everyone is well.

I've heard, in the past, that some gas stations are known for carrying "inferior" gas or others are "cleaner" etc. I am not referring to the octane, but more the quality of the gas.

We moved a little while ago, so I was looking for other stations nearby to fuel up at. As I'm in Ontario, there are not as many different companies to choose from. Basically we've got:

Petro Canada
Esso
Shell
Sunoco
Pioneer
Canadian Tire

And maybe 2 or 3 other small ones.

Has anyone heard or know about this "gas quality" issue? I've heard people say they would NEVER fill at Shell because it's horrible for the car, while others will say that Esso is the worst. Is there any true behind this?
