Hess gasoline

[LarryD]

I use it all the time with no problems. It is one of the lower priced brands in town. Supposedly, they do not use any Middle East or imported oil.

Anyone have any positive / negative comments about this brand? thanks.

Since most gasoline comes from one or two pipelines within an area, IMHO there's not a lot of difference in the lot. Georgraphy is probably more important than brand name. My assumption is that all use additives from one of the big four suppliers.

I have noticed one difference. There's an independent owner here who sells Citgo branded gas that's known for being pure crap. This criticism does not apply to 7-11's Citgo. Come to think of it, he used to run a couple of Amoco stations and that stuff was bad too. That's why I'd rather buy a large retailler's (like QT in the St. Louis market) gasoline--even if they don't have refining capacity-- than a small mom and pop operation, no matter the brand of gas.

Hess always runs good in my truck, just more expensive around here than the cheapo places.

We have been running Hess in our Honda for 10+ years, has been fine, no problems.

I run it alot cuz it's from 2-4 cents/gal cheaper than most in my area.
No readily apparent problems.
