That is what the guy down at the Redding plant told me. That is where I have to go to get my racing gas and other high octane unleaded with no Ethanol in it. He said it basically all starts out the same and then the companies add their own additives or whatever to it, and I would be better off to stay with Chevron, 76, or Shell and avoid the cheap mini mart gas.
