Water.
The gas isn't "bad" or "cheap" at these places, the management is just cheap/lazy.
They have procedures for draining condensation (water) out of their storage tanks. The bozos running these stations just aren't doing them.
Complain and/or buy elsewhere.
BTW, this has nothing to do with octane rating. It's just that water doesn't burn too well. Luckily, with most fuel injection systems, the gas flows past the injectors and back to the tank, so you get enough circulation of gas to let the car keep running. In a carburated engine, the gas would accumulate in the float bowls and you'd be stuck until you disassembled and drained them.
