- bskerr88, on 10/10/2007, -4/+29whatever is cheapest
- ChromaVita, on 10/10/2007, -3/+19Really? Do you really feel that is the best fuel for me to put in my Gasoline powered automobile?
- EBFoxbat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+16Idea for a new Digg feature: "Vote to replace submitted URL" let the users root out the blogspam for otherwise good articles.
- Sparkster185, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15That's what should be been submitted.
- otatop, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16Blogspam.
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -4/+17Trust me...no one gives a ***** which gasoline, or any other commodity, you buy. It all evens out due to market forces.
- aliengoods, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10NO, that is wrong. When you're driving 2K miles per month, the correct answer is 'the cheapest one possible'.
- RandoTheKing, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Horse *****.
BP was just caught watering down their fuel in Cincinnati. - therightside, on 10/10/2007, -2/+9But didnt you know Bush is evil and all the dictators of the world are honest respectable people.
- thcobbs, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8If you bought a car that REQUIRES premium.... you really shouldn't be complaining about the cost of gas.
- orvtech, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10which ever you want, just stop buying gass coming from CITGO and Venezuela, stop supporting Hugo Chavez. he destroying my country (Venezuela) at warp speed. You can see some pictures to illustrate my comment in http://www.noolvidaremos.com/Fotos.html . if you want to prevent your troops being sent to Venezuela in the coming years thats a way to do it.
PD: you can by extra hi flow catalizer to get your exhaust more green. - locnguyen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5+1 for keeping it real
- Stochio, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5BP #1, eh? I'd be nice if they stopped dumping Mercury in Lake Michigan.
- RuffRidr, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Really? Even Citgo? I can't imagine your hero Hugo Chavez doing that.
/sarcasm - rkiga, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4And direct answers for those of us who don't know which companies own which station brands:
BEST: BP (ARCO), Sunoco
WORST: ExxonMobil (Exxon, Mobil, Esso), ConocoPhillips (76, Conoco, Phillips 66) - norman619, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Plus remember Bush is the devil because Hugo Chavez said so.
- CraigJ, on 10/10/2007, -2/+4I'll buy from which ever is closest, because driving out of the way to save a few cents or be environmentally friendly is wasting money and not being environmentally friendly. The exception is Citgo which is owned by the Hugo Chavez, er, Valenzuela. I won't buy Citgo gas regardless of price or availability.
- Kikokun, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3hey orvtech, I bet you must be rooting for Bush to carpet-bomb your country to rid it from that evil Hugo Chavez, eh?
just like he liberated Iraq from Saddam and now they're soooooooooooo much better off. And then rape your country and appropiate all the Venezuelan oil, and give the profits to Bush's big oil cronies.
MENUDO CIPOTE ERES, te sugiero que dones tu cerebro a una fabrica de comida para gatos, es el mejor partido que le vas a sacar. - Stratochief66, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3It's because they cut it with the bodies of poor people and baby seals.
- drmsucks, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Buy the one without ethanol, if you can find it. More BTU's, 10% better gasoline mileage.
- Burn, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3With Ethanol. So I guess you are more 'ethanoling' down the fuel.
- bfeagan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3A very nice article.

for the love of god - GlenLeafJr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3How do you water down fuel?
- norman619, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3VW has one that gets 50MPG now.
- diggThomas, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3Easy on Hugo Chavez, when Hilary gets in US prez office he'll look very conservative.
- RealHyperX, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3they will have re-education camps for the likes of you. move to moscow!
- GlenLeafJr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I say we use all of theirs up first.
- supyonamesjosh, on 10/10/2007, -13/+15Some of the comments at the bottom made me sick
"There are other things to consider beside environmental bona fides. What's the company's track record in obstructing a sane US energy policy? How much has the company contributed to the Republican party? I personally like the notion that at least some of my gas money goes to redistrubution of wealth in Venezuela when I buy Citgo, so I make it a point to seek it out. The fact that Chavez, for all his well-documented faults, called George Bush a devil is just a bonus." - wildfire, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Jet fuel...
...then I can drive in peace. - 3tcp, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2-1 for not making sense
- bankhead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2in response to "whatever is cheapest"
http://www.automotive.com/gas-prices - Put in your zip code and this will tell you - PooPsnooP, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2From Wikipedia:
"BP was named one of the "ten worst corporations" in both 2001 and 2006 based on its environmental and human rights records.[9][10] In 1991 BP was cited as the most polluting company in the US based on EPA toxic release data. Greenpeace International named BP one of Scotland's two largest polluters in 1992. Since branding itself an environmentally sound corporation in 1997, BP has been charged with burning polluted gases at its Ohio refinery (for which it was fined $1.7 million), and in in July 2000 BP paid a $10 million fine to the EPA for its management of it US refineries. [11]According to PIRG research, between January 1997 and March 1998, BP was responsible for 104 oil spills. [12] If one combines BP's own emissions with the emissions of the products it sells, then BP's emissions are greater than those of Central America, Canada or Britain."
Hmmmm... - orvtech, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2humm.. i dont know how is hilary... but ( I do not intent to insult any one) i just hope he is not like Mr. Carter, that old man has doomed Venezuela to protect his businesses.
- chronusmcgee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Many of these stations get their petrol from the nearest refinery, and are rarely branded until they arrive at the station. In other words, petrol is petrol, as long as it is clean and doesn't have a bunch of additives that contribute to pollution and eat away at your pocketbook. While detergent in your cylinders would seem to make sense in destroying grime and sludge, the reality is, it does nothing but make you feel happy you are taking care of your engine, truth be told, you are likely causing damage to your fuel filter and exhaust system.
The same feature of detergents that make them useful for digesting grease, make them dangerous and useless when heated in a combustion chamber. The detergent found in a certain leading brand of petrol, is nothing but dish soap. When detergent is heated above 230 degrees, it decomposes into several aromatic compounds related to benzene. They are poisonous and are not generally further degraded by a catalytic converter, nor do they cause the residue inside the cylinder to dissolve, since detergents only operate when the base fluid they are dissolved in is still a liquid.
If you spend money assuming that a fuel is better due to octane level or some additive that will actually reduce energy per liter, then you are wasting money and making somebody else richer in the process. - proliance, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Any place but Citgo. Unless you want to fund the world's newest oppressive dictatorship.
- rderveloy, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Cool! I usually get my gas from either BP or Shell since they are on my daily commute route. I would have to actively go out of the way to buy gas from any other station. Now I know which one to prefer when one is right across the street from the other.
- TheTaoOfBill, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2That doesn't mean we shouldn't strive to look for energy sources with less negatives.
- fani, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I religiously avoid Exxon-Mobil. Those bastards.
In my area in Livingston, NJ, current gas prices are $2.71/gal. Those Exxon bastards charge $3.09/gal !!! WTF !!
And they're only about 0.75 miles from this place !!!!
Also, they're making record profits and their CEOs/top brass are minting money. But they won't do anything towards the env. or even giving people a break from high gas prices. ***** Exxon - drmsucks, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ethanol = a feel good "solution" without substance and with bad economics.
- anachronaut, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3It's Venezeula. And I don't drive that much, but I do make a point of buying all my gas at Citgo, assuming one's available nearby.
It's obvious we can't expect our votes in the ballot box to count for a damn anymore no matter which way you lean, so I vote with my wallet whenever possible. Venezuela (in the form of Chavez) has repeatedly offered aid to the American poor and has correctly called Bush out for being the corrupt, evil scumbag that he is, so their gas company gets my vote. - Kikokun, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3clearly you have ***** for brains.
VIVA HUGO!!!!!! - NonLeftistDiggr, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Dude, all it takes is flashy colors and a slogan to convince anyone at the Sierra club anything.
If Al Gore said eating ***** was good for the environment, we wouldn't need as many waste treatment plants, but breath freshner sales would explode. - pevensen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I believe this is all pointless. Just because you go to a BP station doesn't mean you will get BP gas:
see the last part of: http://www.snopes.com/politics/gasoline/saudigas.asp
"Moreover, the idea that oil companies sell gasoline only through their branded service stations, and therefore if you don't buy gasoline from Shell-branded gas stations you're not sending money to Shell (or, by extension, the Middle East), is wrong. Oil companies sell their output through a variety of outlets other than their branded stations; as well, by the time crude oil gets from the ground into our gasoline tanks, there's no practical way for consumers to know exactly where it came from." - zdiggler, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2having less octane
- norman619, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3LOL!!! And if they decided to quit you'd be bitching then begg them to start back up. STFU. Oil is a resource we can't do w/o. Like all over things we need there are negatives we have to live with. Grow trhe hell up please?
- Error601, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2People by commodities almost purely on price. If someone isn't selling they're stock, they'll drop their price slightly and it will vanish.
- turpenine, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1They have had problems with that all over.
- anachronaut, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1@ FRIDMARR
This easily-performed Google search says that you're either a liar or you don't have the slightest ***** clue what you're talking about:
http://www.google.com/search?q=BP+Lake+Michigan+pollution&btnG=Google+Search - canadiense, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1No doubt you're one of the 5% of Venezuelans who used to almost exclusively enjoy the profits from oil. Now Chavez is sharing the wealth and you're angry? Can't afford to keep the Land Cruiser on the road? My heart bleeds. Chavez is EXACTLY what South America needs - especially Venezuela. I took a look at your pictures as well ... my first trip to Venezuela was 1989 and back then there was a military roadblock every hour or so. You don't show those pictures ... nor do you show the pictures of the many pre-Chavez riots every time they even THOUGHT about raising the price of gasoline.
I support Hugo Chavez. -
