I've already given up on trying to get anyone inside the Shell to admit anything. I'm going to track down their supplier and ask them if they've received complaints, and if that doesn't work then I'll do what you suggested.
Asking people if they had complaints isn't going to get you anyplace. You expect them to say "Oh ya people complain about our product all the time". Your bigger issue is the extensive repair cost for the "damage". That is where you are getting ripped off.
Gas stations (especially the busy ones) are not adding shit to their fuel to try to earn a few cents. As Re Invention said they do fine on their own. Gas stations take a lot of flak for the price of gas but they don't set it the oil companies and governments do. They just provide the final product like any other business out there.
