Any problem with Arco gas? (its the cheapest stuff around)

With gas prices so high, I noticed that Arco gas is on average 10-20
cents cheaper (than Chevron, Mobil and 76). Is there anything with
Arco gas? Please share your experiences, especially if you use Arco
gas in your Honda car engine.
Thanks

No problem here. Was driving a 1996 Saturn with 200K miles, just bought an
'03 Ford Focus ZX5 with around 80K at time of purchase, wife drives an '05
Kia Sedona we bought new. 87 octane in all three vehicles.

My major complaint is that the ATM card terminals (especially the printers)
tend to not work very well in this area. When I worked at a BP-branded gas
station we were empowered to fix mechanical stuff -- not the credit-card
readers themselves, but we were at least allowed to change the paper. ARCO
seems to be the red-headed stepchild of BP's family.

And since I get a gas allowance from work, in the form of an ARCO fleet card,
if I want to take advantage of the allowance, I really have no choice but to
use ARCO.

But I've never had problems with the quality of their gasoline.

 

why are you posting twice?

 

Because people are not answering him anywhere near as quickly as he
believes he deserves to be answered........THAT'S why!

 

Gas is gas--- it's a commodity like sugar, wheat, cement, etc. Any major
brand purchased from a reputable station in decent shape is fine. The brands
differ slightly by what additives the distributor puts in-- but all are
fine.

 

and beer is beer?

 

No, beer is definitely not a commodity. There are all different kinds with
varying tastes, properties, etc. Grain alcohol on the other hand, is.

 

beer is mostly water with small amounts of additives. the variances you
taste are brought about by very small changes in chemistry relative one
to another and if you were not putting it in your mouth, you'd be really
hard pressed to differentiate. if you had an organ that could
assimilate gasoline like you can beer, you could tell just as much
variance.
