"Petrol Question"

Someone was talking to me about petrol, how he thought the stuff at supermarket petrol stations was only cheaper because it was the 'dregs' that more expensive petrol companies didn't want. Because it's a lower quality, he said, it's used less efficiently by the engine giving less miles to the gallon than other petrol and so overall a false economy.

What do you make of this?
Genuine interesting and useful fact?
Or myth started by more expensive petrol companies and perpetuated by the kinds of men who'll buy into the emperors' clothes of such garbage so they can sound clever?


Petrol's expensive enough, without having to pay from my gas guzzling family to freeload off what I put in the car (I seeth for every hour I work my crap job to pay for their screwing me over). Can you save me some money?!

It's actually a load of crap.
Fín.

:-D
