Picky about fuel

Does anybody else find that their truck is picky about the fuel you put in it. the only time my truck runs like crap is when i put fuel from a philips 66 in it. and it runs bad. in fact the last tank i filled up at a 66 and the truck ran like crap until i refilled at a citgo today. the moment the new fuel entered the system it changed its attitude. none of the stops around here have their pumps labeled to indicate if it is #1 or #2. at any rate i will never get fuel from a phillips 66 again.

i changed the filter last week, i also did an oil change. didn't seem to make a difference. she just doesn't seem to like that fuel for some reason. plays nice when running citgo. i thought it odd myself. leads me to think there might also be something going on with the truck.
