I'm sure we all know that batteries are not the only products that come down
the assembly line and end up with different labels. "Store brand" products,
mattresses, some automobiles, and gasoline are just a few examples.
There are four oil refineries in the San Francisco area operated by Chevron,
Valero, Tesoro, and Shell. There are seven additional brands of gasoline
sold in my area and I am sure that they obtain their product from one of
these refineries. California mandates the basic formula. The only
difference is the additives.
That is why I have no problem using the lowest priced 87 octane gasoline in
my BJ8. In over 178,000 miles of not paying 20 cents more per gallon for
something my car does not need, I have 'saved' about $3,000. I have found
no negative aspects in doing this. "The First Mrs. Hartnett" (my wife's
name for the car) is doing just fine on that diet.
