How much regular gas...
I have stops all over where I ride where there are three hoses for gas, one for each grade. I have a six gallon tank and when there is only one hose how much regular gas am I getting from the hose before I start getting premium gas? With the price of gas I really hate to be paying for premium and getting regular.

Not sure. I would think whatever is between the pump itself and the nozzle. I just finished doing some work at a fueling depot where tankers go to fill up and head out to gas stations and they also do the actuall mixing of the fuel there ie. add the ethanol and detergents and whatnot to the actual raw gasoline from the pipeline. Anyways lets say a gas station orders 5000 gallons of 93 octane gas and the tank only will hold 4200 the rest of it goes in the next grade down tanks in most cases. they said the 87, 89, or 93 octain raitings is a minimum rating that if most tanks were checked they would read higher than the minimum. Not sure about the truths of it or not but found it curious.

Haven't read dawg's link but I have heard about a half gallon. That is why I try to go only to stations that have separate hoses.

What he said!
Anyway, your not paying for the gas left in the hose. The guy before you did. You're paying for the guy behind you.
