My Dad drove a gasoline truck for a local company. He said, he would go to a gas station and unload half of the gas into their tank. Then, he drove across the street to their competitor and unloaded the same gas into their tank. Both stations are major big companies and advertised their gas was the best.

I found the price of gas was much higher in areas of oil production than in areas that had none. In fact, at the same convenience stores, the price could change up to 30 cents per gallon depending on where the store was. On the road near an exclusive residential housing area, it was the highest. Go figure.

I used to say the samething, but its not true. It makes no difference anymore. There are filter on the hose so you dont get all the contamination in your tank.

Law requires that MSDS ( material safety data sheet ) provide information on what chemicals are in the gasoline. Naptha is about 80 percent then ethanol at about ten percent then some benzene, tolulene , xylene. Shell has promoted boron nitride in it's gasoline. Boron nitride takes heat well and is slippery kinda feels like graphite on your fingers. Has been used as an extreme lubricant since first used in steam engines 170 years ago.

I worked in a Shell, full service station when I was in high school, back in the 1960s. Working after school and weekends was a good source of money for a kid of a single parent. It was one of the highest volume of sales stations in the large Northeastern Florida city where I lived. At times I would be out on the island for 4 hours steady pumping gas, we could get that busy. Gas sales, no matter how little was bought included a cleaning of the windshield, check under the hood for the oil level, coolant level (when possible), and the battery's electrolyte level and lastly the tire air pressure. The full service was a requirement of the owner of the station. Some people would tell you to skip the service portion and just put in the gas and others would always want it done even if they bought a dollar's worth of gas. Gas at the time was like 30 cents a gallon for regular and 35 cents for premium. The gas wars that would happen from time to time would drop the prices down to as low as 22 cents a gallon for regular and 29 cents for premium; then that's when sales would really take off. I worked at that station until I had to go in the military which wasn't very long after graduation from high school. It was a great experience and I learned a lot about many things which included some interesting customers, if you know what I mean.

I haul fuel, we pick up the same stuff as the next guy. Very rarely is there any sort of special additive. We pick up Offen Petroleum, Sinclair, Overland, Coffeyville, P66, Musket, Newstar, Suncor, etc. there's a market and all the gas stations are just trying to pick up the cheapest thing they can. For the most part you're just getting the same random fuel anywhere you go. Because most of them run outside carriers that just pick up the cheapest stuff they can and it's not specially tailored to any specific gas stop.

jack smith I’m a fuel hauler in Oklahoma and I can confirm what Jim Bo says is correct. Pipeline gas is raw and blended with additives at the loading rack but the blend does not change between loading different brands. I literally get to see the additives being injected. I can load over 60 different suppliers or “brands” from the same line and the terminal basically blends everything to a spec that satisfies all of them. The only difference in the fuel is the way each company tries to market it. I say buy the cheapest gas you can find as long as it’s from a well kept store. Don’t go to the run down mom and pops their tanks always have traces of water in them and algae growing on the walls of their tanks which both effectively reduce octane rating and efficiency. Most chains and well kept stores do a yearly tank cleaning to prevent it.

As for the separation thing, yeah fuel stabilizer helps but the issue can happen at the stations as well.

In NJ, they don't do full service anymore... They just pump the gas. Years ago, they did used to also check your oil and clean your windows... And they were very nice about it. Umfortunately, those days are long gone.

One thing you did not mention is how maintained the tanks are. Different stations have different requirements (often dictated by the gas brand) of how often the water must be pumped out of the tanks etc. I hear Mobil gasoline is terrible about this and Shell excellent. If your car runs rough after putting some gas in it might have quite a bit of H2O in it.

Never pump gas if you see a tanker in the lot dropping fuel. It stirs the tanks and your likely to get water or other stuff in your tank. It happened to me and really messed up a 2 week old minivan.

Eddie Drye You are correct. Never happened to me but I’ve had some friends it happened to.

I love the stories you tell. You do a great job of explaining thanks

I like how he always has a story behind every car from experience

Scotty, I thought you might be interested in this true story. Years ago I worked for for a company that used a temp service for extra workers to help out .One of the workers was an American Indian who had lived on a reservation in California. At that time gas was $1.35 a gallon. While talking at lunch he asked me what do you think the price of gas is on the reservation. He told me gas there is .35 cents a gallon. I was shocked . That means we were paying $1.00 tax for .35 cent of gas at the pumps.

I went to a Cumberland Farms a couple of years ago and whoever sets the price at the pump misplaced the decimal point. Instead of 2.35/gal it was set at 0.23/gal. I couldn't believe what five bucks bought. Just like the old days.

As for me, I ACTIVELY avoid arco gasoline. AM/PM sells it here in AZ. I filled a Mason jar with it and let it set out overnight. Next morning, all of the ACTUAL gasoline had separated and settled at the top of the jar. And it was only about 25-30% of the total volume in that jar. And people wonder why I call arco gas "gasoline-flavored water".

He’s exactly right. I’ve been providing equipment to oil refineries and gas terminals for years. I had a Sunoco terminal in Philadelphia that gas trucks loaded Shell, ExxonMobil, Valero, Sunoco, and every other gasoline you can imagine. The bad gasoline was from the Sunoco refinery but the additives were each organizations own blend.

When I was studying for my FAA license the instructor (an old salty dog with decades of experience) told us you want to skip any station when the tanker truck is on site doing a delivery. Reason being that the unavoidable condensation in the tanks normally sits at the bottom of the ground tank (water is heavier than gas). The gas is drawn up by a floating pickup tube to take fuel from the top and avoid the water, but when the tanker floods the tank during the fill all the gas and water get mixed and take some time to settle out again, so if you pump your gas then you're likely to get water in your fuel (a bad thing, ask any mechanic). I've been following that tip ever since.

Total control and ownership has to start with minor control and grow bigger. The label was referring to what I believed the state probably wishes it could do. You need to not dissect things so literally and recognize a snide comment when you hear one.

At a cut-rate gas station in Michigan I saw the pump price counter jump instantly by $0.50. When I asked the attendant he denied it suspiciously. The pump had a sticker telling where to report problems. I called but they wouldn't take a report from out of state resident. Apparently the station had pricing issues before.
