WTF?
I filled up the SUV today with propane. I pulled into a gas station and asked the attendant to fill it, and open the vent valve. So he did.
Then I saw the price: 3 pesos more than I read the new price was. So we asked the attendant what was up.
He said the pump I pulled up to was "premium" because of the additives, which he couldn't explain. He said premium gives 18-20% better...something, he didn't exactly know what.
So I paid 60 pesos more than expecting, no big deal, really, but I have never heard of "premium" LPG before. Can anyone enlighten me? I thought I ~knew~ about fuels; I guess not. I will now be watching the pump more carefully.
FWIW, the station was the Cocigas station on the autopista leaving Santiago to the south.
