Question Chevron Techron vs Shell V Power

Which premium gas is better in Canada: Shell V Power 91 or Chevron Techron 92? I have been using Shell premium V Power but had minor fuel system issues which required a fuel system cleaning from my Audi dealership. I have read a lot of good things about Shell premium gas V Power but I'm wondering if it is the Shell V Power or maybe the old gas tanks at my local Shell station that is causing the issues with my Audi A4 3.2 V6 Quattro. Any feedback about using Shell V Power or Chevron Techron for Audi vechiles.

I have used Chevron Premium exclusively in my last 3 Audis, and have never had a fuel related issue.
Good Luck

I think it could be the gas station itself. I have been using shell vpower for years in my previous M3 and now my current S4. no issues

No matter where I go I always try to keep to the newer stations when buying gas. Standards are one thing but the real world underground tanks can vary vastly in condition.
