re: What gasoline brand do you prefer?

Lol at people who think they are buying gas from a certain company. You are getting that company's detergents but not necessarily their gas. Gas is fungible and gas from all companies goes in the same pipeline together.

We have a winner. I've worked on the control systems at a Mobil gasoline loading rack. Every major brand of gasoline in the area got their product from that place. The only difference was which additive package was mixed into it as it filled the tanker. There were large tanks of 2 grades of raw gasoline. One set was 87 octane, one set was 104 octane. These were also mixed as they were pumped int the tanker to give the appropriate octane.

I saw trucks from Chevron, Exxon, Shell, Mobil, Texaco, and Sunoco, to name a few, loading up there. This was back in the 90s in Rhode Island.
