Hi Stephan... I've always been of the opinion that gas is gas,
and oil is oil. But I've had a few tanks of, uhh, "PETROL" :-)
that were supposedly 92 octane that made my high compression
Hulk complain noisily. I don't think it's so much an issue of
gas brand as it is gas station. Or even gas truck, or gas day
or gas phase-o-tha-moon.
That aside, I imagine that for your extra 20¢/gal at a premium
station you might be less likely to encounter a bad tank of
gas.
Mom-n-pops - sorry to say, I'll keep driving till I find a
national brand. No good reason for that, I s'pose I just
place more reliance on a store that says GAS (and snax) vs.
SNAX (and gas).
