I was at a family owned area grocery chain store the other day gassing up with their usually nickel beat the competition price. The 18 wheeler was filling the tanks.

I mosied over to the driver and while he was waiting for the transfer asked him a few questions. Answer is this:

He is a bulk distributor out of the Dallas fuel terminal. His truck is unmarked; some marked with the dist. name, not the retailer (Exxon, Shell, etc).

He said that this load was 850 gallons of alcohol and 7650 gallons of 87 octane gasoline. I said do you carry around additive packages to suit your variety of customers? He said no. He puts no additives in the fuel. If the customer wants them "THEY ADD THEM THEMSELVES"...........................DAHHHHHH!!!!!

On Valero, I think around here they replaced Shamrock which was an Okla. based oil company. They usually sell gas for a few cents below the norm, but there is no norm. Sometimes the interstate stations are the cheapest, one Exxon in a nearby town for example with a car wash which effects the price of gas that much more if you use it, and elsewhere it town it's several cents more.

I know there is a huge Exxon terminal in Dallas. Possibly they cater only to their badge stations and contain the necessary additives.

So, once it's in the ground and you are filling up, you have no idea as to what you are getting.

Mark

Today's Featured Article - Memories of an IH Super A When I was ? up to 10, I worked on my Papaw's farm in Greeneville, TN every summer. As I grew older (7), it was the thrill of my day to ride or drive on the tractor. My Papaw had a 1954 IH Super A that he bought to replace a Cub. My Papaw raised "baccer" (tobacco) and corn with the Super A, but the fondest memory was of the sawmill. He owned a small sawmill for sawing "baccer" sticks. The Super A was the powerplant. When I was old enough (7 or 8), I would get up early and be dressed to ... [Read Article]
