Out of the tier-one gasolines I would say that Chevron additives (Techron) are best followed by Shell V-power.
A study of independent gasoline stations shows that they sometimes don't even meet the federal standards for additives to prevent clogging of fuel injectors.
So, the bottom line is that it is worth spending a few pennies more for tier-one gasoline.

Great points you have made and they make sense. The last time I filled-up at a no name gas station was around 35 years ago. I filled up at a canadian tire gas station. After filling-up in exiting the gas station I had to make a left turn I nailed the gas pedal to avoid been hit by uncomming traffic it felt like I had my emergency brake on and I checked and it was "not" on that is how poorly my car ran after filling-up with a no name gas and I also got the worst milage. That was the last time I filled up with no name. Oh yes my car at the time was a 67 Cougar with a 289 auto. One other point I find that my 99 Intrigue doesn't seem to run as well on Sunoco regular gas. I find that it runs best with Esso
