Default Valero Gas

Has anyone tried this stuff and or have any problems with it? There's been quite a few sprouting up all over town taking over old service stations. Is it made out of Argentina crude oil?

i snapped my belt in one of their stations 45 min from my house so i really had no choice but to let them fix my car turns out i had a bad smog pump and my mom wouldnt let me just delete it at the time and run a shorter belt so they put a new one in and a new belt so 400 bucks later i found out it was the wrong belt. i had a dealership a/c not the factory so it is a longer belt than normal they put the factory belt on and the only way to get it on was to loosen one of the other pullies DUH

I asked a gas truck driver one time what he thought was the best gas; he said without a doubt Mobil. He then said Chevron was second best. He said that all gasoline is basically the same; but the differences lie in the additives. He then went on to say that he runs ARCO in his own car.

Valero is a sort of Spainish name buut I'm sure it's an american company.
Shell is owned by the Dutch royal government. In fact 35-40 years ago it was called 'Royal Dutch Shell'......
