I buy most of the gas for my car at the S & S in North Reading.

There is a maximum to the amount of discount you can receive and the number of gallons you can receive so filling the boat would not pan out.

I've never had any issues with the gas, I burn their super unleaded in my turbo Subaru.

How do you know what kind of gas you're buying at a name brand station? Outside of Gulf, I've never seen a company tank truck delivering gas at any station in SE Mass. 95% of the time it's a JP Noonan tanker, which is what I see delivering gas at the Wareham Stop & Shop. Occasionally Cape Cod Cartage or Volta Oil tankers. I can't remember the last time I saw an Exxon, Mobil or Shell truck delivering gas to a station around me--just Gulf.

Wise men speak because they have something to say; Fools, because they have to say something.

Yea, from what I've heard stations buy from a local "distributer" and the idea of a brand isn't really there.

I been saying that for years Mike! All generic trucks delivering to stations.....you are not getting what you think you are in my opinion! Fortunately I get 87 octane so its only upside for me.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
