murphy adds ethanol or how ever you spell it which lowers mpgs plus its crap

I always use Shell's premium because its a higher grade fuel than any other premium around here, unless I want leaded fuel lol, and I get great mpgs... well... with my other civic I get great mpg's

Yes, I do. There's one across the street from the dealership I'm at and it's very convenient for me to go to. Besides, do you think they'd even notice the loss of my $60/month? No. So what's the point in inconveniencing myself by driving to another gas station if it doesn't affect them at all?

I am pretty sure most gas stations do. I can't recall the last time I saw a pump without the ethanol sticker on it saying it may contain up to 10%

Im sure this my get some of u going. BP does not own the rig that blewup. They might profit off of it, but like i said they do not own it. And for the very small % of people not buying BP gas is not going to hurt them.

However, they were in charge of the poor manner in which it was built, and skimped on safety precautions (ones that were recommended by their own engineers) in order to cut costs.

I don't care if they don't own it. They're not getting a cent of my money for quite a while.

Yes, but that would require everyone else to stop using that station as well. Like I said before, it's across from my work; I see how many cars are there daily. They wouldn't miss my $60/mo so there isn't even a point to me inconveniencing myself by going somewhere else.
