Re: Connie Cohen On Discovery Channel

Maybe someone can enlighten me on the 20+ different blends of GAS.. either the State or the Government requires different mixtures of gas for different areas.. example at high altitudes (Denver, etc you need one type of mixture, in NY another type. and in Ca. the tree hugger's want some other type of additive.. it goes on & on..you need winter gas, & Summer gas...

Then we have the "Great Senator" (Mass) who wants us to use electric power, but DON'T put wind mills in Narragansett sound because it will spoil the clean "Look of Nature" from his Hyannis Port Mansion..

And bottom line back in the 60's we had regular, & hi Test! no matter where you drove... I was told (Do not know how true it is) that we pay an extra .30 per gallon just to have the gas Co. mix all the different blends...

Am I anywhere near correct ?

Yes you are John.
And all these different blends are responsible for regional shortages that causes prices to go up. That also is the reason fuel prices are higher in some areas than others, even when accounting for differences in local taxes.

And how 'bout that water washing of diesel!
