<p>[QUOTE="fatima, post: 1258205, member: 22143"]It's an interesting story but there are a few things that make me not believe it. The first one is technical. Gasoline is a complex mix of chemicals and we don't use the same stuff here in the USA as used in Europe and even the grade is different as they basically use 91 octane. It would seem unlikely they would reset their refineries to produce American gasoline. Second, gasoline is perishable. It's not stable which makes it troublesome to put in a tanker and ship around the world. Third, gasoline is extremely price sensitive. I don't see how it could be produced at a reasonable price in Europe and shipped to the USA and sold at American prices. </p><p><br /></p><p>I know that most of the East coast gets it's gasoline from the Colonial pipeline that connects it to the Gulf area. There are numerous gasoline farms located off this pipeline where it's then trucked to the local area. The NE also has a number of oil wells and another pipeline distribution system.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
