Not Ranked
My family has owned gas stations for about 25 years; I ran one of them for the last 10. We used to be branded, but switched to unbranded a few years ago. The difference between branded and unbranded is a few squirts of additive in each compartment of the truck. They all use the same fuel. Heck, now that I'm unbranded, when the market gets weird and branded is cheaper, I have branded fuel in my tanks. Modern fuel dispensers ("pumps") and tanks have self monitoring systems and are extremely reliable and clean. Water is a fact of life in all tank systems as a result of condensation. As long as you are turning over your fuel inventory every few weeks, which most places do, that will not be an issue. Moral of the story: branded fuel is a waste of money in most markets. Jeff
