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.

Fair enough, but bear in mind that I haven't even seen the bill yet so no one here knows just how expensive the repairs were according to the dealership. They didn't say that it would be massively expensive, just that the fuel disposal would be the most costly. I know these guys and they know me so I'd like to think that they will give me a fair quote.
You're making it sound like I'm trying to accuse Shell of purposefully contaminating the fuel and breaking my car but I'm not, I know that it's probably an accidental leak. But at the same time we all know that fuel sold in America is not even near the quality of fuel sold in other countries, and that fuel of the same octane can be very different depending on the station you go to. I'm not some wacky conspiracy theorist but the ambiguity of what's actually in the pump leaves room for question.
