CA - Gas station selling two different brands of gas?

[Vern_in_IL]

The only difference is an additive pack. Name brand fuels are tightly regulated and they come in their own trucks with their own tanks. But I guess that way they can get the cheap customers and the ones who care about branding, while still selling coffee and snacks.

The additive pack is like laundry detergent in a washer. A small amount does a whole lot.
and that Kenan Transport, is the company that one guy in Cali got the ****z beat out of him on the interstate by zombies.

I just looked at Google Maps of this station. There are two sets of Tanks for this station.

Never seen a mobil gas tanker; local mobil gas comes via Island Transportation out of New Haven, a petroleum distribution hub.

Of course YMMW in your area.


Evidently Pilot is the only name brand gas because that's the only branded tanker I've ever seen.

Sunoco? Makes a big deal out of having the logo giant on their truck and tanker.

May have seen Exxon and Shell or even Amoco before they went BP but that's more I have to rack my brain to remember, and I want to say I used to see these but Sunoco to this day does their own, if you have a Sunoco by you, I also thought they were "going under" but apparently not.

I was told they are transported in the same tanker trucks, different batches.

Like a Goodman Tanker can haul Costco and it’s a top tier name brand, drop it off, and get Wawa later, which is unbranded.

Also I was told there are only two octanes, anything in between is a blend.

Branded has the additives like you said.
