And he says:

"Each company has its own additive and adds it to the base gasoline. So
while the base gasoline may be the same, the additive is different, and
hence the brand of gasoline you use is different because of the additive,
not the base gasoline."

Ok, so all I'm asking is WHERE do they take the Hess gas in the tractor
trailer to ADD in the TECHRON between the Hess oil dump in N Charleston, SC
and the TECHRON station on Ashley Phosphate Rd about 6 miles away? The
DRIVER doesn't have tanks of "additives" for 5000 gallons of regular.

The answer is quite simple....he doesn't. It's all BULL****...

....I asked them! I asked the transport contractor driver filling up the
tanks with TEXACO PLUS at Ashley Marina. I watched him dump gas into the
underground tanks in the parking lot. He told me he gets it from Hess,
like everyone else, and delivers some here (TEXACO AT MARINA) and some
someplace else like Kangaroo across the bridge. When the truck is empty,
he goes back to the dump for another load. Hell, he showed me all the gas
tickets he delivered THAT DAY....tens of thousands of gallons...LOAD AFTER
LOAD!!

BULL****....ALL BULL****.

......Just like AMSOIL!


Wouldn't be a big trick for the Hess depot to have additive dispensers
for the companies it's serving. Not saying they do. But if I cared
that much about it, I would find out. If not, you're right.
