TEXACO  is about to be switched over to SHELL. What I'm not sure about is Chevron, because the name of the company is Texaco-Chevron. Anyone else know? I wonder if they'll keep Texaco's Gasoline with the stuff in it(basically same as Chevron's stuff)I think Shell has their own though. this is confusing

Isn't BP and Amoco doing the same thing. It is going to be a BP (Beyond Petrolem) station selling Amoco products? Not to mention the Exxon-Mobil merger that has already happened. Buy Citgo gas and say the heck with all of them. Citgo buys most of their oil from Mexico and South America.

Chevron gas is staying the same.  I read the whole legal thing on the merger and it said that all of the Texacos in the US would be disapprearing and the owners of the Texaco stations would have to drop the name and find a different company to get gas from.  Chevron will now be the only gas marketed in North America by the Chevron-Texaco Corp.  Texaco branded gas will be marketed only in South and Central America by the C-T corp.  And some other subsidary of Chevron-Texaco will be marketing gas in Asia or something like that.  :thumb: Basically our good ole Chevron gas isn't going anywhere.  As for the Shell thing, maybe they are picking up all of the stations that where Texacos or something.  I'm not too worried, I only use Chevron. :thumb:

DON'T BUY CITGO!!!!

 

Citgo adds a oxygenated RFG that corrodes fuel injectors therefore causing them to plug up and misfire.  If you complain to a dealer about when you first start your vehicle and it misfires, but goes away after a few minutes, the first question they'll ask is "What brand gas do you use?"  If you answer "Citgo" they reply "Bingo, there's your problem!"

 

The best fuel to buy is Mobil, BP/Amoco, Shell, or Phillips/Cononco.

 

It doesn't matter what names are in the company letterhead, BP gas is still Amoco gas.  It's just the fancy name given to the holding company of the two merged companies.

Does anyone else have Optima??? We have one here in a Wal-Mart parking lot! Gas seems to be pretty good, I have seen a local Sunoco distributor delivering gas there but not 100% sure it is Sunoco??

      The Peckish Synapse

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      You're better read than that Atlas. 😏   British science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke formulated three adages that are known as Clarke's three laws, of which the third law – that "any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic" – is the best known and most widely cited.   Stribeck and the pivotable Hersey Number isn't voodoo nor snake oil. That part is physics. It's what marketing and bean counters do with it that is snake oil and voodoo.    Stribeck is the relationship between Hersey and the Coefficient of Friction. Within the Hersey Equation if viscosity and viscosity is 'Dependent' on.......heat.......and.......viscosity index or the temperature to viscosity slope.    Specifically Hersey is the viscosity AT THE TEMPERATURE IN THAT LOCATION FOR THAT SLOPE.   Hydrodynamic lubrication exist when the film thickness in the location is 3X the Ra roughness of the surface. This is irrespective of the hardness of the substrate. To obtain that thickness X viscosity is required for Y velocity at Z load. That's a lot of moving parts. It is also impossible to maintain in an ICE but nearly possible with a turbine under constant load.    What does that mean? Error heavy and operate light. Wear is inevitable but the rate of wear and the milage obtainable are a function of prevailing conditions and HABITS. The only penalty is viscous drag and at fractions so low as to be well worth the effort. Double the life, half the manufacturing carbon foot print. Greed is the only impediment.    The materials generated by SwRI are the RESULT not an estimation or a hypothesis.    Don't delude yourself sir, EV's have as many pitfalls as ICE's. We just don't know what they are yet and it will take longer to sort as MARKETING and GREEDY CEO's have had more time to polish the turd they are selling.

      You can always count on greed to prey on ignorance and stupidity.    Friend bought a 2019 Ford Flex and asked me about using Valvoline R&P 5W30 in it. Told him give the miles on it and the fact it wasn't yet using oil that it was a good plan. He uses a Valvoline quick change shop for his oil service.   First they tell him that isn't the oil the OEM recommends. He told them he didn't care what the OEM thought. Then they floated the, "But it will void your warranty"    His reply was it's a 2019, there is no warranty and informed them their knowledge of the law was lacking.    Then they tell him 'But it will ruin your motor"!.    Mine to ruin he says. Finally they give in and charge him 150% the semi-syn price    Point it the brainwash is so embedded that even the service industry is drunk on their swill. The public is right behind them. Echoing the same lies on every forum and media platform. If the end goal is indeed EV then I'd say that ship is about built.
