Default Gas from walmart?

Would any of you trust gas from i think it's a walmart gas station called murphys usa. I was looking at lowest gas around here and that was the lowest at 3.15 the highest is 3.45 at shell. If the octane is 93 think I should try it? I have never tried or really heard of murphys have you?

I usually figure gas is gas but i am kinda worried.

I use it all the time......plus 3 cents per gal. off for military. All Wally Worlds use Murphy so it is not like it is some back woods company. Plus, if they had problems.....wouldn't someone have brought this to the publics attention.

Gas is gas is gas... All of it is exactly the same. They get it from the local terminal no matter what brand it is and any detergents are added at the station. Thus a citgo terminal can provide gas to BP or Hess or Walmart stations etc. History channel did a great show about it one time. They have so many fooled into thinking you must go to a brand name station and apparently some on here are fooled as well. My brothers and I growing up owning 11 Mustangs got most of our gas from a un named gas station called Gas Time. It was a local mom and pop.. My brothers happen to do work for a famous Mustang tuner where he also got some of his gas..

I've seen to many discovery channel shows explaining how gas is piped through out the country. It all goes through the same pipes. Gas is gas while its in the pipe. Once it hits the station, the different companies add what they want. Just hope they're not adding water.

I get my gas from Sam's Club 99% of the time.

Agree with most of the above. I go to the stations with the highest turnover. The longer gas sits, the more impurities it collects and the more it degrades. If a station gets a lot of business, it gets my business.

I think that some stations do have different gas... not denying it all comes from the same place, but I think what goes in to your tank varies from place to place.

I remember a post on a local forum here in KC where the Department of Agriculture tested a Waterway (Amoco) station down the street, their 89 octane tested to actually be 93.2 octane.

Do all gas stations provide gas over the advertised octane levels?

And if I ever actually buy anything from Wally World, it will say "Made in the USA" on it. But since there is practically nothing that does, I don't shovel any money to Walmart, a company that only encourages American jobs to be sent overseas and further wage depression and loss of job benefits as a whole in the US.
