Essentially, they add a gas line antifreeze (99% isopropl alcohol (sp?) perhaps) to the fuel. This is similar to the additive you can buy at gas bars, auto parts suppliers or for a one-tenth of the price at the pharmacy.
NOTE: Big Gas talks like they're doing you a favour by providing winter gas but I'm sure the increased fuel sold due to our decrease in fuel efficiency makes it a very profitable favour.
