If they sell 3000 gallons a day, you're more likely to get get good, fresh gas.
Today's reformulated gas looses (sp  ) about an octane point or more per month 91 down to 90).
The longer it sits the weaker it gets and the more wax and varnish forms.
Also an underground tank that sits and doesn't do much volume has a higher chance of getting contaminated with water. On a good/bad scale, that'd be down at the bottom near the bad part.
I'd assume the gasoline in the PNW would be regulated just as tightly but that would just be a hunch. |
Sammy, we are luck enough to get 100% gas around here. It costs more but that is all I use.
I fill up the 911 and it usually takes me a couple of months to use a tank. I do make a long road trip every summer but most of the time I only drive the 911 once or twice a month. If I know it will be a long period I use Stabil in the tank.
Are you are suggesting use Stabil if it will take a month to use up a tank of gas? Even 100% gas?
