Caltex petrol

[Krayy]

The base petroleum product for all the major companies is the same shipment. It comes off the boat, is processed in the one plant and is then pumped to the Wiri terminal. Then a Shell truck drives up and as the petrol is being pumped into the truck, Shells additives are mixed in. Then a Caltex truck rolls up and the Caltex additives are mixed in. Same with BP and Mobil. So the difference between the product is the additives themselves and nothing else.

So find out who chucks in lots of Nitro and go for them

P.S. This is also why the cost of petrol is so closely linked. A few years back there was a minor price spike cos BP fucked up and paid too much for the tanker so had to pass it on to the others.

For some weird reason I don't like running on mobil 98 but I love BP's 98 I think it's all in my head.

I've got a mate that works for one of the big 4, I'd ask him about it but I can't because he's on conference in Mexico at the moment.

Give's you an idea of the profits these companies are making!

I have noticed about a 20km extra out of a tank of 96 or 98 (same diff on the clock), compared to 91.
However i don't think it is very brand specific. Heck maybe it also just a coincidence??

some of my cars do get better mileage from Caltex... ermm

I never used to be able to get $20 worth of gas in my tank, these days I can get $25. Is my tank getting bigger, like stretching, or what?
Ahhh it's OK here comes the nice nurse with my medication
