How true is this statement.
i remember watching the local news a few months back on something similar to this. the news channel investigated on what grade is actually going into the underground tanks. they didn't mix the leftover 87 with 93 but just filled the 93 tank with 87. i don't remember how many gallons but there were a quite a few spots in Houston doing this.
