Massive Fuel Fraud?

MASSIVE FUEL FRAUD?

I have a fuel consumption meter in my Prius. With this meter I can easily and instantly tell what quality gas I have. And I know that I have been getting far lower mileage that I should be getting. No, it’s not my tires, nor my heater, nor a change in the weather, nor a change in driving habit. It’s THE GASOLINE, STUPID. Even cars without a fuel consumption meter exhibit car engine knock meaning low octane (inferior gasoline) and thousands of complaints have been made from those who noticed. But has any gas station, or oil company been fined, as specified by law? I wonder!

BLAME IT ON THE ADDITIVES?

Oil companies have been introducing cheap additives for years into the gasoline they sell to the consumer. The additives are to keep the gasoline from freezing in cold weather. But the additives have another effect. They cut the miles per gallon about 10% or more depending on how much additives they add. The more additive the less mpg you get. In effect you get inferior gasoline. I suggest the oil companies are purposely introducing into the gasoline more cheap additive than is needed. This gives even less miles per gallon. What else would account for the huge decrease in mpg? Not anything else. Because when I get gas from a different gasoline company I get back to 45-50 mpg, where I should be. With bad gas, to go the same distance, you need to buy more gas. And, ahem, more profit for the gas companies. There supposedly are inspectors that go around inspecting the gas by testing in the laboratory. They are employed usually by the local counties Division of Weights and Measures. Have you ever heard of any gasoline station being caught and fined for having inferior gasoline as specified by law? Not even one? Gee, I never saw such honesty in an America that doesn’t lack crooks.
Remember all those shadowy guys going in and out of the White House for years? You know, the guys who Bush and Cheney don’t want you to know about? The “Executive Privilege†guys?
Remember the last Exxon Chairman who walked off with $600 million “take home pay� U.S. oil companies got thrown out of African countries shortly after this became known. The oil industries in those countries became nationalized. Perhaps that wouldn’t be a bad idea for the U.S. too?

This is a massive fraud being committed under our noses. You see, if the oil companies aren’t caught and fined, if there’s a universal complaint, they need only go back to the normal amount of additive (oops, sorry, we made a mistake), and the evidence (the bad gas itself) disappears out your tailpipe, and the oil companies are off the hook and get to keep the profit-by-theft or maybe just get a slap on the wrist.

Nothing else but the GAS ITSELF can account for the large variations in MPG!

The meter I have is what came with the car, the GPS system is as good a meter as anything. It immediately tells you the quality of the gas.
