Petro-Canada's Wintergas 87 VS Esso's 87 VS others

Just wondering, does anyone prefer one over the other? Petro-canada claims that their gas contains anti-freeze and that tactrol engine cleaner additive, while Esso doesn't seem to advertise any engine cleaners at all... They claim winter-gas allows for easier starts and stops the gas-lines from freezing, but i've been loyal to Esso (essopoints! woohoo!) and have never had any problems with starting my car (even at the -29 windchill we had here in Toronto yesterday)...

and what about sunoco's 94? i mean how can they claim the 94octane burns cleaner than lower octane rated fuels?

Im loyal to ESSO, partially because of the Esso Extra Points... but i have noticed something is a little different when i run my car on Petro Gas, and i think i get better mileage with Petro Gas.
But yet I still go to Esso for some reason? Maybe i should consider a change?
