Why is arco gas so much less expensive?

Question

Is the type of gas of lesser quality? Or does it have to do with the way they obtain their oil?

Also, has anyone ever experienced poor car performance after they have used arco gas?

Answer 1

There's a reason is it always cheaper, not sure what that reason is, but I won't use Arco gas in any of my vehicles or my motorcycle.

I also don't like how they charge extra for using plastic. I never carry much cash on me.

Answer 2

The Arco station that yor filling up at uses a gas that is more watered down. It still has federal regulations but is of poorer quality that is why after filling up you'r car has lousy performance. if you continue to use that gas put an octane booster in the gas tank when its almost emply then fill up. if you dont you'll be needed ne fuel injector.

Answer 3

they make the bulk of their profit from the food and bevergages they sell  Gas just gets the in the door

Answer 4

it probley has more ethanol in it. ethanol is much cheaper because all that ethanol is, is used corn oil that they are adding to fuel. most gas stations should only have 10% ethanol. i know the gas station i work for wont let us put ethanol in our fuel.

Answer 5

its probably because ARCO doesnt take "Credit" cards

(only Debit cards/ATM cards) this saves them money since they dont have to a pay for the credit card processing center

(there in turns gives a customer s better break
