I go to COSCO for my gas. Usually about a nickel cheaper than everybody else around here

I used to work for BP.

The fuel at your BP station is the same at the citgo station, is the same as the shell station.

There are two major importers of gasoline in the U.S, BP & Exxon

When a Vessel (300,000 barrels * 42 gallons in the barrel) docks, this entire vessel will be sold to BP or Exxon.

From here BP or Exxon will sell part to citgo, part to shell, etc.

So basically, the gas at your shell station is the same as the gas at the BP station is the same as every other station in the vicinity.

Talk about a shady business...holy $hit. It's amazing how these major distributors can manipulate the price of gas.

I heard about this but they may get all the same gas, but doesnt every major company put it own additive in the gas???? some use the corn stuff, some mix it with other chems for cleaning injectors, some use mtbe ect ect... so i would have to think that would make cars run better or worse, yes they all use the same base gas, but what the put in it to save money and give them more volume of a product is what makes it better or worse....

Can they add something to it to make it a higher volume??? $hit, I guess anythings possible. I never delved that deep into the business. Who knows how many times the gas is sold once off the vessel. I have heard of "bad tank of gas." So I'm not sure.

But I can tell you this...Anyone who knows our answer to our question is paid WAY too much money & will take that secret to their grave.

You forgot sunoco. I used to fill up at the cheapest place until I looked at my fuel filter. Now its a month later and my car is running much better.
