Fred,
Lets see if I can remember....
The gasoline is pumped down a common pipeline from the refinery. It is
pumped in batches that are separated by an air bubble between them.
(Not sure of the dynamics of that process)
The grades are more likely a result of additives which are mixed after
the fuel is received.
The different grades are then shipped in tank trucks to the station and
into the holding tanks where they are distributed to the consumers
through the pumps.
Am I close? Or is it all done with smoke and mirrors?
Joe
