interesting article...
and yes Sunoco doesn't have the lowest sulphur content anymore, and I personally use Shell...
1 - cuz i got the easy pay tag so it's super convenient
2 - they're the only top tier gas in canada right now, which has been proven to keep your engine cleaner..
otherwise i have heard from a few sources (this is before top tier gas) that it's good to stay consistant with a station for like 1000k and then switch...based on the premise that each company has their own kind of detergent that leaves some sort of buildup....
when you switch it's a different kind of buildup, and the new detergent starts removing the old one and starts leaving a new one etc...

only thing that gets in those tanks are gas and water sumtimes... that why water levels are checked regularily.
