I was talking with a friend and she said "why pay ten cents a gallon more for chevron gas, when ABC Gas is just as good?"
So lets start the debate, what makes one station cost more, besides the name on the sign. Chevron really better then Arco? why? what is in the fuels that make them different?
I know there are items like ethanol, MTBE and sulfur (just from memory) what other chemicals are used like these?
My truck manual pretty much just says to stay away from MMT and sulfur as best you can.
For my motorcycle, the manual says, "Gas containing MTBE: Unleaded gasoline containing MTBE may be used in your motorcycle if the MTBE content is not greater than 15%"
"Gas/Ethanol blends: Blends of unleaded gasoline and ethanol also known as GASOHOL, may be used in your vehicle if the ethanol content is not greater than 10%"
"Gas/Methanol blends: Fuels containing 5% or less methanol may be suitable for use in your motorcycle if they contain co-solvents and corrosion inhibitors"
So who makes the best gas? and is it worth what they are charging over the other companies?
