Gas tanker unloads tampered fuel?

[shibby75]

Shempre tinanong ko, additives daw kuno.

Whats the point of having a billion peso company with millions of r&d in chemistry and engineering and just boils it down to the gas boy adding this additives. Eh kung ibulsa ni gas boy ang additive at ilagay sa habal habal nya?

For me its either i load up with the cheapest or with the most expensive gas line up. Either way, i can feel the difference, unlike unleaded and premium, wala ako marandaman pagbabago.

Ganun din sa shell sa may q.ave near mcdo (edsa, q.ave)

Nasa 53.80++ lang kahapon yung nitro+ racing!

The only point is, they add the additivies at the end user so the station itself gets to decide how much of each "type" it gets.

And yes, this system is prone to abuse or human error. Which is why we always tell people to change gas stations if they're having fuel problems (knocking) with their car.

The companies could create an automated system that mixes the additives in the correct proportions in tank... But why spend money on something that customers will never be able to appreciate, anyway? Why buy a robot maid when human ones are so darn cheap?

Sa diesel kaya may ganyan din?

Inaabangan ko lagi ang Friday para magpa gas dahil sa promo na ito ng Shell... In the back of my mind though, isip pa rin ako ng isip bakit kaya may promo na ganito sa Metro Manila gas stations while sa Batangas area kung saan mas malapit ang refinery nila ang mahal... halos 4 pesos difference

Which probably explains why i suspect to be getting inconsistent fuel consumption with some gas stations (using XCS). I still have to observe further though as my driving conditions are quite varying so i cannot gauge it well enough.

refiners can't be bothered to produce several kinds of gasoline. they're too busy cracking crude. they just produce gasoline (blend with ethanol coz it's law) then it's up to the dealers to put additives

Yep, that's precisely the reason why. It's added cost to manage and store the mix at the refinery/producer/supplier side.

may variant po ba ang diesel?

then we don't really know if what they put on our tanks is what we paid for...
