I have to trod down and back Interstate 75 into Mickey World (Florida) frequently, and I've taken to filling up at Shell, Chevron or BP - not in any particular preference - if I'm in an unfamiliar area. Otherwise I'll look to see who is busiest. Love's Truck Stops have sort of taken over many of the Interstate routes in South Georgia and Florida, and they're always busy pumping gas and diesel, so chances are the stuff in the tanks is days fresher than the empty brand name stations around them. Not sure who supplies their petrol, but I've never had any issues with it.
