Strange Gas Mileage Going On..
#24
I used to work as an Operator at the Refinery, and I could go into specific details on the composition of gas purchased at an Irving station as opposed to Ultramar or any other in Atlantic Canada. Not all gas is made by Irving that is purchased in this province.
I here many people say that but in reality, we do receive a fair amount of shipments from Ontario and further West. The big problem is a particle amine that is thrown into the mix at Irving. It is designed to "wet" the gas. It increases the water content of the gas, and the by product is one of the negative affects on the person's Accord. Gas from one firm to the next is quite different to meet the requirments that were formed. All gas in the world, providing it is run through a cat. cracker will essentially be the same, but sometimes, the process is different which will alter the efficiency of that gas. Out in Ontario, a far more chmically treated catylist is used in the distillation process where as the local refinery is more "barbaric."
I found it hard to believe myself as well, but after looking at what he went through, and he had Honda write him a statement clearly explaining the problem with the gas here. He took it to Irving, and they acknowledged that yes, their gas can adversely affect certain cars made in Ontario.
