It is a Shell station that he pointed me to
I've always enjoyed searching for Shells. (That was a really bad
joke.) I also recall Mobil having good gas, although my favorite was
back in New Jersey when the BP stations had 96 octane premium. There's a
definite difference in gas quality, and it's not about price unless
you're going to burn through the tank fast.
In California, we always avoided Arco, which was the cheapest gas.
FWIW, here in Mexico, where the PeMex gas is regulated and controlled by
the government, you can be assured of a consistent product at a
reasonable price. I'm a capitalist at heart, but I do like to see that
petroleum revenues are pumped back into the national economy, and are
used to build roads and schools. You can't be assured that every
station actually pumps a liter for every liter paid, but that's a
different point.
Oh, back to my point. I always add a little Octane enhancer, a little
Fuel Injector/Carburetor cleaner, and a little Sta-Bil gas stabilizer to
every jerry can. I haven't had to clean or replace a Carb on my
outboard or Honda 2000 yet. I don't know if that's a good thing,
because that means I don't know how to do it. But a few years ago
someone on a 'kid boat' introduced me to his six year old son, who's
sole job on the boat was to clean carburetors. So it must not be that
difficult.
