RE: Is POWERMASTER cheating?
Not to stir the fuel jug here, but just having read this thread today for the first time it concerns me. I concerns me for several reasons:
1) I've used Powermaster 20/20 for 2 or 3 years now. How much fuel could I have been shorted over that amount of time? I will never know.
2) No accusations here but is the metal can the reason they didn't discover the shortages or the reason they were able to get away with intentionally underfilling. I hope it was the former not the latter but a company could do this for years until a customer finally catches it then just say it is a mistake and compensate just the customers who come forward. If this were the case, they would still be money-ahead after being dishonest.
3) I tend to believe this was just a mistake but then if that is the case, what other mistakes may have been made? Wrong nitro content? Wrong oil content? If a company basically does mixing and packaging of raw materials and they can't get that done accurately, what the heck are they doing right? Just the billing?
#3 is actually my biggest concern and not just with PM but any fuel mfg. Oh well, I guess if you wanna know for sure you gotta mix your own.
I will continue to buy PM fuel but I believe they lost some credibility here.
