i've heard chevron gas smells the most. push the car a little hard with chevron, and that sulfur odor is just unbelievable.
but techron is just too cool.

I had this problem here in Toronto. I changes from Esso, to Sunoco, and since then I don't have this problem anymore.
I tried to go back to Esso once, and the smell came back. so now I only use Sunoco.
