in regards to all the "name brand' and "no name brand" gas station remarks. People do realize that there are only 4 different oil refineries in the United States that produce gasoline. And I would bet dollars to doughnuts that there isn't any significant difference in any of the 4 that supply the Xthousand different gas stations in the US

Off-topic a bit, but do the gas attendants make drivers turn off their engines before filling? I pump my own gas and have not seen any places that do it for you for probably 20 years. (Obviously, I don't live in or near New Jersey.) In the winter especially, I see a lot of people filling their tanks while the engine is still running, which makes me very uncomfortable and nervous when I'm using a pump near them. Small children in the car are not going to freeze to death in the two minutes the engine is off to fill the tank, but my best is they'd be a lot safer.
