Message	gas from different sources. One delivery may come from Shell Oil, the next may be from Tosco, ARCO, Chevron, etc, etc. The bad part of this is that you may be getting a mixture of oil. Shell mixed with Arco, etc. But you do this anyways when you fill up at one place(shell), then at 1/2 tank you go to a different brand station(chevron)..
