What is the cleanest gas to use in your daily driver?

I worked in a gas station from 1974-1977 and we would use a long stick every morning to see how much gas was in our four 12000 and 6000 gallon underground tanks. We also put a white paste on the stick to see how much water was in each tank. If it got over 1/2 inch we would tell the delivery guys and they would at the refinery put a “dry gas” additive to absorb water. Now each tank had an outlet 6-12 inches from the bottom of the tank that would drawl gas out going to the pumps. The problem arises went gas is delivered and dropped into the tanks mixing all the dirt, water, and crud from the bottom of the tank. Are there filters at the pump? Yes there should be but I have always kind of bypassed gas stations went I see a fuel delivery truck dropping fuel.

Pittsburghracer, me too! I never knew if it was the case or not, but I figured it was a logical theory that it would mix any sediment at the bottom of the tanks.
Facts are stubborn things.

I like BP and Kwik trip Up here. The hot rod always gets gas from Shell. I feel their 93 is superior to most.

Thanks guys for the replies. It was recommended that I use Shell gas only. I wanted to see what others thought. Has anyone used a product called Seafoam? How did it rate? I have also been told that some vehicles are sensitive to it.

Sea foam is fantastic. It was recommended to my on a motorhome forum for my generator that sat four years unused. Good stuff
