Anyone ever hear of New World gas ?

[GraySS2011]

We just had a new gas/mini mart open in my area. The gas is New World gas. The prices are low compared to surrounding Sunoco and Shell stations: $3.49/gal for 87 if you pay cash and $3.59/gal for credit. I believe the 93 octane was around $3.81...

I never heard of New World gas and don't want to put inferior fuel in my car. Has anyone heard of them ?

Thanks,

Bob

Different companies put different things into their gas.. I would do research about it first.

New market / gas station , they need to be lower than the competition in order to bring people in

Gas is a highly goverment controlled and complex production / regulations etc
Most of the gas come from the very same refinery , and as it leaves the fuel depot , differents brands add differents additives , that's all there is to it

just hope their not affiliated to the new world order

Maybe they are getting gas from the new world?

If it does not say "top-Tier" gas then you dont know what you are getting . That is why GM recommends it .

yes you do. you know you are getting gas that is 99.99999999% the same as the gas at every other station in your area. every retail outlet in your area is buying their gas from one of only a couple distributors. drive buy the nearest wholesale distributor and you'll see trucks from every retailer there filling up.

Well i live in Louisiana, where alot of oil comes from (the gulf). And we have refineries galore down here. All owned by different companies, Citgo, ExxonMobil, Conoco, Valero, Shell, etc.

Each one of those companies refines their own crude oil into their own gasoline, then adds their own additives, and sells it at their own gas stations.

Im not saying the fuels are very different but they dont all come from one or two refineries and change the name. Shell may have a more stringent refining process with more regulations or standards, than the conoco one for example.

Its my impression that the big gas stations refine their own, where the no name ones like "Discount Zone" or "Race Trac" just take what they can get from anywhere that will give it.

I personally believe that you cant go wrong with any of the bigger names like Shell, Exxon, etc.

Edit: After reading an article done by a chemist, it reinforces some of my points and answers some of the ones im unsure on: http://www.vettenet.org/octane.html

Though they all refine and make their own fuel, besides the no name brand places, exxon may borrow base gasoline from shell to save on shipping, etc. Exxon still adds their own additives though.

This means that the different top tier refineries probably have the same standards for base gasoline (so they can trade), then do their own additives. That article is a great read.

With that thought...I'd be cautious

^^^ This was my first thought ^^^

Never heard of it. Sounds like a OPEC plot to me.

first off all, the crude oil is bought and sold on the global market. Texas oil could be heading for toykyo, while oil from sadi arabia may be what exxon is refining in texas.

second, the gas that is refined is sold to wholesalers. it does not go from the refinery to the gas station. most of the time, it is delivered to the wholesaler through pipelines, not trucks.

thirdly, the pipeline network is shared, and gas from many refineries will travel through those same pipes. it would impossible to separate it.

fourth, all gas has to meet very stringent standards set forth by the government. that more than anything keeps it all about the same.

and lastly, it's at the distributors that the tiny amount of additives are put in the gas.


a retail gas station is privately owned. at least the shell's, Exxon's and so forth. the large chains like walmart, sheets, and so forth of course aren't. but the private retailers can purchase gas from wherever they want.

this pretty much explains how it works
