This is indeed a very interesting read. I remember a while back seeing a story on 20/20 or a comparitive show, and they discussed a similar subject to this.

I was astonished to see that most states do not strictly regulate the actual octane ratings of the fuel. They covered the "fuel testers", and found that a lot of stations are not as reputable as they say. Example was that when a person is putting say 93 octane in their vehicle, they may be actually putting in a far inferior fuel at the higher cost.

Great read! Love VP
