The V power additives in shell is shown to have anti-carbon building properties. Given most of our cars are direct injected now, ill take it. Even toyotas with their D4S system (direct and side injection) still suffer from carbon buildup just less than a similar lousy VW that will need walnut blasting at 80-100,000kms.

Any of the big names (Shell, Chevron, Petro Can, etc) have their own pack of additives which are quite similar (check out Project Farm etc) so I don't think it makes a huge difference which brand you go to unless you're super religious about sticking to one brand. If you go to the tiny places (Super Save, Centex, etc) then yeah probably not as good.
I think carbon buildup is more of a driving habit issue than an additive pack/fuel issue. Most people won't drive their car long enough/hard enough to blow off the carbon fouling.
Anyway what if the truck driver forgets to dump the additive package in anyways lol.
