> Usually I buy milk from the grocery store (where it tastes fine) , but I have a gas station close to my house so occasionally I buy it there if I’m in a hurry. It always tastes funny. Like its semi- spoiled or has bacteria in it. Why is this. It’s not just this particular gas station (HESS) but others as well I have tried over the years.

I’d think you would stop trying after the first few times. I’d stop if I kept getting inferior gas from the neighborhood dairy.
