You may be right about commercial gasoline for automobiles being essentially
all the same. But we were talking about mixing 100LL aviation gas with pump
gas for automobiles. They're NOT the same product and do not contain the
same additives.

While interviewing a petroleum engineer for a management position...they
were plentiful in Texas a few years ago, PEs that is, not management
positions...I asked about the various brands of gasoline sold in El Paso,
TX. We only have one refinery in town, are hundreds of miles away from any
other refinery or pipeline, and every station in town, Exxon, Shello, 66,
Chevron, etc, etc, ect....get gas from the same refinery.
All the additives for each brand, are they put in last?, at the station?
at the pump?
Additives he said? "after the refining process, it is against federal
reulations to tamper with the fuel in any way"
Forget brand loyalty guys, buy the cheapest...
