... I've always heard gas stations get their midgrade gas, by pulling from the lower and higher grade gas tanks. Don't know that for sure, but if so you could probably find a place that sells high octane race gas and buy a couple of gallons to mix in with what you have.




That sounds like a big 'wives tale' story.

Gas is very regulated and monitored. No way of blending high and low octane at the pump.




Incorrect. Mixing the two is exactly how mid-grade is concocted.




But not at the pump. They have separate tanks in the ground.




They only have 3 tanks in the ground, one for diesel fuel, one for 87 gas and one for 92 gas. The dispenser blends 60% 87 and 40% 92 to give you mid grade. Been that way forever, no one that I ever saw had a mid grade tank.
