Convenience gas stations

Hauled fuels in 1970s again in 1980s, both grand fathers and a few extended family worked refineries Wood River and Hartford IL among other work.

Gas is a rub as all comes out of same tank, same for diesel except once that tank gets low and swaps are made where the residuals settle out. Only difference is from what refiner the fuels are purchased from as a few still run their own pipelines and tank farms. BP/AMOCO is one of those.
Had a few client small stations that bought residuals fuels. Smelled sour placing in tanker and smelled worse once delivered, much was barely able to make octane ratings sold as. Old stations that we pumped out for rehab fuels were sold as residuals much of that loaded with moisture emulsified to a point was just junk and soured as was beyond time of additive longevity or volitized off.
Never hauled ethanol based gas was not prevalent then.

‘Top Tier’ is the marketing name for an additive that is in fuel. At one time, General Motors owned the trade mark, not sure if they currently do. Several gas stations in this area have it, several others do not.

Top Tier gasoline is worth reading about. It’s a voluntary program, but the gasoline is definitely higher quality. Costco is Top Tier. There is also Top Tier Diesel Fuel.

Spam or not, the local CASEYS is by far and away the most expensive fuel (can't comment on the quality ), We have SPEEDWAYS, 7/11's with MOBIL fuel, COSTCO (have been told that "ANYTHING" that Costco pedals is TOP NOTCH),Family Express, the "PHILLIPS 66"  stations, and now there's a new  REBEL brand ??

Mike33, just be aware that a common trick in this part of the country, is the posted gasoline price up on the sign. You may see a vendor with a better posted price, you pull up to the pump, then you realize that price is for 86 octane not 87. But 87 is not available, next up is 88 octane, but that is 20-25 cents higher.

Always the scammers ruining it for the rest of us. I hope they gave him the lab testing bill too.

I did a house for a tank truck driver for a store chain. He said everyone gets their gas from the same pipe. But they all have their own additives to add to it. 

Will not buy that mix of Diesel and refined cooking oil, does terrible things to fuel systems on the old wagons.

Harder to find Pure gas than ethanol, E10-E15 is everywhere.

Yes they are different Quik Trip or known as QT and the other Kwik Trip 2 totally different stores, have a lot of Breaktimes around MO, gas sucks cause of ethanol, MFA owns them or has part in them , must not pay good cause always someone new working there

Quik Trip is actually different from Kwik Trip. In Iowa they are Kwik Star. But Ted that station is owned by what people?

Kwik Trips in Wisconsin we always joke that when you go to La Crosse you will never get lost because no matter where you are if you look around you will see one. we have 3 in our town.

Casey's here, also they have the best quality gas and diesel. we have Freedom stations, BUT the quality is " bottom of the barrel" stuff! I quit going there when the diesel started messing up. --I am not the only one either.
