Anyone know where or what oil company QT Quick Trip gets its gas from?? Joined May 24, They get their gas from American refineries, but where the oil comes from who knows. Eticket Well-Known Member. Joined Jun 26, Rob, This must be a Fort Worth only posting. US refinieries are contrained by the type of oil they CAN run and what it costs to bring that oil to the refiniery.
On the flip side, different gas retailers can buy from just about any gasoline commerical rack.. Sometimes, the "formula" is mixed in dedicated tankage, sometimes it's mixed at the station.. For example Valero can buy some generic 93 within a spec and mix any of their own additives when they get to the store. All buy oil from just about anywhere.. I work for a refinery now..
I see what you're saying John that all the imported oil could be all processed together with domestic oil There is only a hand full of refineries or refinery companies anyway.
Rob, Shell - it's a large publicly owned company, probably owned mostly by pension funds here and in Europe. I like this example because it definitely is foreigned owned by a single entity.
However, I will tell you that amazingly enough, the retail outlet itself doesn't matter that much. Most of the "oil" money is made by pulling it out of the ground, then by traders and refiners wholesalers as they move product around.
The retail is the ultimate offload to the consuming public. Remember, that refining foreign oil is only one picture. Stop importing the fuel and the gasoline prices will go even higher. On your first question.. They are probably on a term supply agreement with multiple refinieries. Thanks for the info John, that is a great explanation and I never understood how that operated.

While the blend of detergents and additives is different for each company.
The answer is simple: they just have very loyal customers. Since new customers are enticed to sign up because of Costco's cheap gas prices—and other great deals on everything from electronics to food—the chain can afford to price their merchandise and services much lower than competitors.
No, it doesn't. Costco would not sell any gasoline that is of inferior quality and set themselves up for lawsuits. Most gasoline is distributed by local refineries, whatever that might be. I have been using Costco gasoline for a long time, not exclusively-but enough to have noticed any potential downside.
More expensive fuel from branded retailers like BP, Shell and Esso often have better additives that can boost fuel economy. It means using cheaper petrol and diesels from supermarket filling stations at Tesco, Asda, Morrisons and Sainsbury's could be costing you more over a year. Available octane levels are regular, premium, and super. Walmart also sells diesel. For more information on Walmart's gas quality, see below. According to AAA, Top Tier gasoline costs an average of three cents more per gallon, but money expert Clark Howard says it doesn't have to be more expensive.
Break Time C Stores. Arco does not accept credit cards, so it doesn't pay that surcharge, and hence can afford to charge less. Another reason: The company says it sells nearly twice as much gas at the average Arco station as the industry average, and hence is able to discount on the basis of volume. Who does QT buy their gas from?
