/* ---------- "Gasoline quality." ---------- */
Do different brands of gasoline really differ noticeably
in quality?  I've heard tell that Arco (cheap stuff) often
contains water, dirt etc., so I switched to Mobil. (My car 
got as bit sick after 6 months of Arco. Needed a new fuel 
filter).

Is there any substance to this, or are gasolines like
dishwashing liquids - all the same?

I don't know about the quality of the gasoline itself, but there have been
several problems with unknown or inappropriate additives.


The MOB has been using their gasoline outlets to dispose of toxic wastes,
according to NBC news.

In Orange County (Deutschnyland) FL, some of the no-name economy outlets
have been putting up to 25 percent ethanol in the no-leads.

As for me, I have a diesel, and always buy either Gulf or Texaco.  They are
the only ones around here (D/FW) that use the fuel/water separators.
