You can add my uncle's X-terra to that list. Filled up at a Hess station in New Jersey because the price was so cheap. The next day, the car had to be towed and gas tank pumped because there was water in the fuel line.

I usually look for the newest gas station and always go with a major brand. Too many shady people these days.
