OK , if it is true , then why don't the oil companies mix the same
potion and sell it to the public as leaded super ??? They try like
hell to please the customer , and I know they could sell a lot
of this 95 octane gas. The chemists that work for Chevron must be
STUPID , if they have the ingredients for this high octane
gas sitting in their own pumps......

   ( in other words , it don't work. )
