Anyone have a Hess or now a "Speedway" in their area? Hess was my spot to fill up for years and now it's a Speedway, just wondering if the fuel is the same quality as I've never heard of Speedway before.. Also, if anyone has one of these stations in their area, ask for a Reward card. It's free and saves 10 cents a gallon.
Speedway buys Hess stations

Yea we have a couple Speedways that popped up down here in Dade/Broward.
No idea about gas quality its either Shell, Chevron or Mobil for me when it comes to 93 octane

Happened a while ago here, and take it from one who hauled gas for years. Some of the gas comes from same/different terminals and their additive is added as you load the trailer depending on the brand. Serious
Same but Sunoco instead of Chevron lol. I was actually worried about the diesel for my TDI.
Lovely lol
This is absolutely true!
You ever haul gasoline for Chevron stations? I've got an old quart glass bottle of Techroline. Was curious how many of those bottles were dumped into a tanker.
If it isn't a company truck, say Sunoco, Shell, etc and just a common carrier, who knows where it came from. I'm not saying that a common carrier doesn't haul the real deal, but you need to take a look at where the brand terminals are located. FYI, I hauled gas for over 20 years.
Never Chevron, but I do remember adding the goofy cans of additive to Amoco. I really can't remember, but I wanna say a few cans treated a few thousand gallons. Average load was 9000 gallons, unless you split it with a different grade. I wouldn't add more than a few drops if you wanted to use it per tank.
Someone told me it was three. Someone else told me it was five or six.
Just re-read your post, glass bottle? I have zero knowledge of those, all the stuff we added by hand was cans, and this goes way back 30 some years ago. Yeah, I'm old.
I'm not sure this stuff isn't that old. I believe they dropped the Techroline name at least 20 years ago.
As mentioned, not sure on that stuff, and surely has stuff in it not allowed anymore, but kicked ass. Chevron injector/fuel system cleaner is my go to for issues and every oil change.
Haven't seen E85 at any Speedway's down here in FLA.
I have no E85 anywhere even close to me. Used to be one place in Ft. Myers that had it, but not sure anymore.
I try to stick exclusively to Shell for my all of my gas needs. But that's just my preference. I haven't noticed a difference between gas stations, save for Sheetz. Their gas really does seem to average about 10 or 15 miles less per tank. :shrug:
and it looks like Marathon has bought a lot of BP stations as well.
Some Soeedway stations carry E85. Speedway is big in Ohio I actually just found out one of the Speedway's near me carry's E85 so I will set my Cobra up for it sometime. But for now I use Shell in it. I use Speedway on my other vehicles and it seems fine.
Until someone starts carrying corn near me (say, 10-12 miles max), I'll stick to my Shell, too. They seem to have the best consistency. I used to use Sunoco but I would get mileage fluctuations week to week. 21mpg one week, 23 the next, 19 the next.
