How good is the cuality of ure gasoline????

I'm just asking this question cuz I didn't any thing else to do but work.....


I'm trying to find out the quality of gasoline cause from what I've seen the color of gasoline in the US is clear colored and the one I put in my vehicule is like and red-orange color
So I'm just wondering cuz from what I heard the gas they produce here is being refined atleast 2-3 times before distrubution...

Its very differnt down here......here there is only one refinery and like ten difrent brands so basiclly they buy from the same place.

This is a poor country and what most gas station owners do is the dilute and mix diffrent chemicals and products in the gas to make it mor profitable for them but the consumer gets fu@ked cuz we have to put that in our vehicules.

I remember my accord I had before the truck and the damn check engine light would never turn off cuz of the fuel mixture

Similar situation where I'm from, Jamaica W.I. . I just buy the highest octane from the most reputable dealer, Shell, if you want you can also add a bottle of gas treatment whenever possible. I think the color of the gas is irrelevant from what I remember they just add the color so you know it's gas and not something else (like kerosene).

Both are countries buy black gold from the same dealer so I wouldn't be surprised...

About the gas treatment I relly don't believe that works I have not seen any improvements with it!!

I use Chevron... most people think its more expensive than other brands, i.e. Shell, but really its not... Before I learned about the effects of the whole 10 percent ethanol blend Walmart gas i used it; then I started using Chevron and I got 2 mpg better than with Walmart.

That said, I trust its a "good quality" gasoline product... Haven't really done a study on it, though.
