So I only use Shell when my grocery points gives me more than $.70 per gallon off which is rare.
I filled up with a tank of ARCO a few months back at a sketchy station up in Everett and got a check engine light after a few days. it stayed on until I filled up again with Chevron and went away maybe a day after that fill up. Not saying it's related but it's suspicious. Had not had a CEL before or since. Have not filled up with ARCO before or since.
