Regular, Midgrade, Premium

As I understand the local station manages Gasoline (three grades) is that they have two grades in the ground, and mid grade is a mixture of the two.

I got a bad tank of gas once at an independent - water or something - much grief and new catalytic converter later - I have never gone back.

The guy remains in business. So I'm guessing his cheap prices make a difference.

Those were the days I would drive 200 miles a day, just to get to the office, so buying gas was a daily event.

Guess this is another reason to buy diesel - though diesel bigots have told stories of bad gas stations. With diesel, it's usually all the same grade.
