Bad fuel

I've pretty much bought my fuel from two stations, Citgo and then Shell. This year my filters are lasting about 3 months, this last one clogged in 1 month! What experiences has everyone have with the fuel issue?

I had to get a new injecter pump and fuel filter on my truck. It had right a 79,750 on it. I got in January and had all new filters put on it. I fill Shell and Cheveron. The mechanic said that the reason the pump went out was because of bad fuel.

Fuel is always the scapegoat.
