DISQUS

Life is grand: Gas marketing

    I'm driving over here in the US now, and I still go for the cheapest stuff. I asked a few friends here and that was the advice the gave.

    Wow, i would *not* have guessed that. Every so often i'll run into someone who *avoids* a certain brand based on a bad experience with dirty gas at some point in the past, but i've yet to actually hear someone express any sort of loyalty *to* a specific brand.

    In fact, it's much more common to find folks driving across town to line up behind the pumps at a cheaper station, most likely burning up the few cents of savings in the process.

    Then again, i don't know anyone who buys higher-octane "premium" gasoline either. Maybe i just hang out with cheapskates...
