Function to 'deactivate' images. Since our first customer in 1965, to the thousands who visit our 280 plus locations throughout the Midwest today, our customers have depended on their neighborhood Kwik Trip and Kwik Star stores. Kwik Trip, Inc. provides them with quality gas and other products to make their lives a little bit easier. Our success has been built around our gas and top-notch service. But besides pumping top-quality gasoline into your car, you get much more from your stop at our stores.
All gasoline starts out as crude oil.
Crude oil is shipped from oil fields all over the world to refineries, where it is turned into the gasoline that your cars and trucks burn as fuel. At the refineries, where all gasoline is produced, gasoline is a generic product that meets general standards set forth by ASTM for gasoline quality. It doesn't have a brand name, additives or octane boosters. Gasoline is gasoline until it reaches the terminal. It is at this point that the retailer decides on an additive to blend in.
