Safeway has Shell?....My wife's cousin owns a Shell station and before they were approve to buy the station she had to attend a classes in Texas and take stringent exams about the corporate business ...along with the gas refinery and distribution process. From what she has learned she admitted to me that Cheveron produces better fuel.....better additives(Techron) and such.
As Scollins said, there is a tier system to distribution of gas. ie. gas from costco and arco is consided lower teir in quality of gas they get.
I'm not anywhere near an expert in gasoline but it a little of what I got from her.
I do fill up with Cheveron most of the time but Shell is my other option.

oh, the people who did fill up with the tainted gas yesterday are getting their cars repaired by shell.
