Some of you may be familiar with this article, but it appears that it is best to switch gasoline brands at certain intervals to minimize deposit buildups.

The author says he works for the largest gas retailer in the world, has 28 patents, and his specialty is gasoline additives. He has invented some for his employer.

I reread the article. What he says sounds plausible, but I still don't see any data. It would make just as much sense for the gasoline industry to just mix additives in a single gasoline such that one additive would remove the other additives' deposits. Before I change my normal gas purchasing behavior, I'd like to see more convincing information. You may be convinced because you know more about the subject and may know more about the gentleman who wrote the article.

Of course, noone cares about my gas purchasing behavior, but this is just a friendly discussion. I may even learn something. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif)
