Have you had any 'bad gas' in the last decade or two?

Well now, you live in the SF Bay area and I live in the Seattle area ........ but the OP is from Arkansas.......
Back in my Miata (required premium) driving days (all over the MW and West), I've run across stations, out in the bush, that claimed to have hi-test gas. However, after seeing the spider webs and dust on the hi-test pump, I would pass and get just enough regular to get me back to civilization.
Now, I'm not sayen that Bubba was pumping the hi-test out of a 55 gal barrel, 1/3 full of water, ....... I wasn't about to chance it.
But, generally, these days, I would blame rough idle on an electrical (including ECU) problem rather than "bad gas".
