Why does ARCO arco gas burn faster?

My friend told me ARCO gas is cheaper, but it’s not worth it because it burns faster than other fuels. Why does ARCO gas burn faster?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
There’s actually not much evidence that suggests ARCO gas burns faster than any other fuel. ARCO’s gasoline meets Top Tier standards, just like Chevron, Mobil, Exxon, and Texaco. Gasoline that meets Top Tier standards tends to be comparable no matter the gas station.
Generally speaking, gas with a lower octane rating will burn faster than gas with a higher octane rating.
Your driving style can affect how fast you burn through gas, too, so keep that in mind. Rapidly accelerating, slamming on brakes, or spending a long time in stop-and-go traffic can cause you to burn gas faster than you might otherwise.
Gas and money are two things you don’t want to burn through too quickly. To help you save more of the latter to buy more of the former, the

What Others Are Asking

Which Mercedes SUV is comparable to the BMW X5?
My friend let me drive her BMW X5, and it’s absolutely awesome. My only issue is that my father used to work for Mercedes and he might never forgive me if I bought an X5. Is there a Mercedes SUV that’s similar to the BMW X5?

How long can a landlord leave you without electricity?
I live in an apartment that has all of the utilities included in the rent. This is the first time I have ever been late on rent, and the landlord has disconnected the electricity. I know I can pay rent in the next day or so, how long can a landlord leave you without electricity?
