<VV> Gas Brands no difference in basic formula

[Corvkid50 at aol.com]

I hauled gas for a few years ant that's exactly right. Just push a  button 
and it changes the brand by adding different additives.

The  formula for gasoline is a government recipie determined by location 
and  season.

The pipeline sends the same gasoline to all the depots (tank  farms) in 
an area, no difference in brand. The brands add an aditive  package to 
make it "Exxon, Chevron," etc. This can be added at the  terminal or at 
the individual station.

So except for the final  additive package, it does not matter where you 
buy your gasoline. Here on  the east coast a popular "off brand" is Wawa 
(a dairy with convience  store). It sells gasoline purchased from the 
Exxon terminal! Why pay more  for the same product just because the 
station has Exxon on its  sign?

Let the fire fly!
