Arco gas is fine, just run a tank of Techron or BG 44K a few times per year or before your scheduled oil change.
Where is this magical place you call Madera/ Chowchilla?
I usually get scared and turn back when I get to Fresno.
AND FOR GOOD REASON!



OK, How do you know?
Oh wait, I wasn't supposed to ask that.

I thought Tesoro got all the arco stations, guess BP kept some for themselves?
IIRC their closest refinery is in Washingtoooon, Cherry Point.

That's a long way to ship gas. I wouldn't be surprised if they bought some from the bay area.
