Having seen what happens with bad gas from shoddy stations, i too will bypass many in favor of the big names. I know someone who got water instead of gas when a tiny mom-and-pop gas station let thier tank run so low it started pumping decades of groundwater from the bottom of a rarely-serviced tank. Just google "gas station pumped water" to see all the local news articles about this sort of thing. https://www.koco.com/article/drivers-oklahoma-furious-after-... https://www.motorbiscuit.com/gas-station-pumps-ga-water/ https://www.wkyc.com/article/news/local/lake-county/mentor-w... https://www.motorbiscuit.com/nevada-gas-station-pumps-golden... | ||

None of these are local news articles, in fact they are all from a different continent. A local article that I did find was from a BP petrol station in Liverpool, so I'm not sure this can be isolated to 'mom-and-pop' outfits (something we don't really have over here anyway). https://www.petrolprices.com/news/garage-sells-petrol-dilute... | ||
