We can load unleaded or gasohol (E10). The BP branded fuel is exactly the same as the unbranded fuel except for the price. The same with diesel fuel. There is red or clear, #1 or #2. A different brand gets you a different price but the fuel is the same.
Not new news, base motor oils are the same deal, only the additive packs that are sold individually are different.
