Yeah... to really compare one to the other you have to be working with pretty much full tanks of each... not mixing the two.... Unless, of course, one is appreciably worse than the other, and mileage tanks immediately when one puts even a half tank of it in... As long as the station of whatever brand is getting good quality gas, there isn't that much difference between them other than cost... BM> And of course the YMMV, etc., disclaimers: certain engines and driving BM> habits may prefer one gas over another. And as for cost around here BM> "below the hill" is usually several cents cheaper than "on the hill", BM> so location of the station factors to cost. We have that location influencing the price per gallon here, too... Just have to know one's area... ;) BM>>> On the 'research nerd', thinking of someone like the person/people BM>>> at law offices who comb the newspapers for the bankruptcy, etc., BM>>> announcements, go to the library and courthouse to dig up details BM>>> for a court case, etc., etc. I'll admit to enjoying a bit of digging BM>>> research every so often but not as a full-time job.
