The secret that no one wants you to know is that most gas stations deplete their branded gasoline very quickly because of the high volume of consumers that fill up. I have seen popular gas stations using low quality gasoline just because they want to make an extra buck.

This is my reasoning. I fill up in the same gas station 2 days apart, for the same amount and do the same amount of driving. I only fill up with 93. Although my trips are short, mostly 2 miles in each direction to drive and pick up my girl, and about 15 miles to Staten island and back which I do every other day. If the gasoline is brand true, I can get 20mpg on the highway and about 15-16 in the city. If its not, I get anywhere between 8 to 10 miles to the gallon. Thats a very significant difference!

If driving late at night to some of the popular 24 hour gas stations that we have here in Brooklyn, I have noticed none brand name rigs supplying gasoline to the station. I know for a fact that companies advertise their gasoline by branding the gasoline trailer, so I know that somethings fishy.

So im just used to funny numbers. I love filling up outside of NYC though, the car drives just as it did when I got it.

I put a half tank from the E mark yesterday ($30), only did about 25 miles worth of driving.
And now I am down to the quarter tank. its VERY frustrating to say the least. I am about to park her up and get a corolla or something. this thing is getting about 6 MPG
