[QUOTE="LAV, post: 70297, member: 1123"] Fuel specifications are very strict and fuel companies and refineries have to fully adhere to these requirements. For this reason, the same grade of fuel even from different refiners will perform the same (unless the retailer or transporter has contaminated storage tanks, of course). There is a lot of urban legend & folklore around this. Tank to tank comparisons on the same vehicle would not nearly qualify as a repeatable and scientific testing process. SA has only a handful of refineries, so this essentially means that (depending on where you live), whether you buy brand A, B or C, you are getting the same product. (Neither do fuel saving gadgets work, but that's a topic for another day :)) [/QUOTE]
