Some bad Gas?

Wondering what people agree is the best brand of gasoline to get. I've heard some rumors lately about the new Shell gas not being everything it's cracked up to be and causing some problems. Any ideas?

Shell V-Power is awesome. Haven't had any problems with it. Normal gas for me is either Shell, BP/Amoco or Hess.

If you think you have bad gas, go to a large gas station that has lots of business so you get the freshest gas.

I had bad gas from Sunoco in another city. It gave me almost 1/2 the amount of distance that a regular tank would from any other station, and my driving style did not change.
