The right fuels to use. Don't be foolish
Everybody really needs to check your gas mileage on the cheaper gases like Walmart, Sheetz, Giant foods, etc. I think that if you do this you will see that the 2 or 3 cent savings in cost is not worth...

well i'm hooked on diesel, and many discount places don't have diesel
when i had a gasser i never noticed any mileage difference
BUT my dodge 413, would smell when i used ARCO
not when driving, but minutes after shutting down, a smell would start coming from the dog house, never did that on other brands
figured it must be an arco additive, that caused it
i had two P30- chevy 454's, but i never did put arco in them
so i don't know it they would smell
ran all other brands, never noticed any mileage difference
I wonder if that smell was sulfur? My understanding is ARCO buys a lot of Alaska north slope oil which has a high sulfur content. As opposed to say middle east oil which does not. What I did find interesting is that, high sulfur content is due to volcanic activity at the time the oil was being formed, That part I am sure of.
Perhaps ARCO with their own refineries did not get the sulfur content as low as some other brands and hence the smell?
