Racing Fuel?????

Chevron has been "my gas station" over other brands. But because my travel paths in the car have changed, I stopped at a different station.  What I didn't know is that all stations are not the same!!

I pulled in, got out, and swiped my credit card. I reached out to press the correct button to dispense gas, but it wasn't there. Thank goodness for a good Samaritan in a truck who stopped and told me that I was about to put RACING FUEL in my car. WtF??

I have never heard of this!!! But as I looked closer at the pump, it said this pump "doesn't belong to Chevron ".   15 pumping stations and one isn't for @Chevron brand?  Are they allowed to do this??  Obviously, I suppose.  

I pulled around to a regular pump, only put in $20 and decided I am not going to purchase gas at that @Chevron station again!  (Broadway and Val Vista)  No matter how convenient it might be for my new route.

I must be getting old .... I'm losing my powers of observation. Time to pay attention!
