As for gasoline .... according to this chemist, it's all in the
additives. Furthermore, he points out that crude from which gasoline
is refined varies, even within a specific brand.


What "additives"? Who adds it after the trucker, who doesn't have any way
to add anything and doesn't carry anything to add it with, picks it up?
The marina doesn't add anything. I've watched 'em. They did add a stick
to see how deep it was in the tank. There wasn't anything on the stick
except some water detector paste on the bottom that turns color if there's
water in the tank.

The trucks that carry gas from the dump here to the stations varies. There
are a few trucks that LOOK like Exxon or Texaco with large signage on them
to that effect. There are hundreds of trucks that have no markings at all
because they belong to a couple of tankage companies who haul lots more
than gas, one about a mile from my home....

So, where is all this wonderful "additives", which must be a thousand
gallons in a 50,000 gallon underground tank, not some drop-in tablet that
would dilute the gas a billion to one, now?

Nonsense. Gas is gas and just like any other common commodity comes from
the LOWEST BIDDER, whoever has gas the cheapest, today, on the commodity
market. Notice what the brokers are selling! They sell GAS and DIESEL and
BUNKER C and LUBE OIL. There is no commodity named SUNOCO SUPER BLEND on
the commodity exchanges. It only exists in the consumer's mind......


...............just like AMSOIL!
