Maybe this will help you make a choice. This guy worked for a major refinery in Texas all his working life. His comments about refined gasoline that we used to have to use which wasn't very good, compared to today.

" The gasoline of old was more corrosive and had higher sulfur content than today's gasoline. It also had more of the stuff that forms gums. Sulfur content of today's gasoline is in the 50 ppm range and doesn't have any untreated yellow or orange cracked gasoline in it. I worked as a chemical engineer for an XOM refinery for 32 years often supporting gasoline production and blending."
