Almost certainly true.  I used to fill my 150 with the cheapest gas I could 
find.  I loaned the airplane to a friend for a few weeks and he couldn't bear 
putting the cheap gas in an airplane, so he used Chevron and claimed the 
engine ran smoother.  I switched to Chevron and, if only in my imagination, 
the engine does run a little smoother.  It's probably only my imagination, 
but 100% or our sample pilots (two) think it's better.

The EAA has done extensive testing on autogas and I trust their results, so 
I'm comfortable running an airplane on it.  However, it is true that there 
are no guarantees with autogas that you're getting the same stuff every time. 
 I think a name-brand station with a high turnover of product should give you 
better gas than the no-name station that has fuel stored in their tanks for 
months.  

By the way, if the refueling truck is there refilling the gas station tanks, 
come back in a few hours to let the tanks settle or go somewhere else.
