Avoid shadie gas stations, 93 octane..... @ a dump? Options

[soulshadow]

After filling up with 93 octane at a gas station in the middle of nowhere, my engine ran great for like 10 mins than after that it started idling weird, died at idling speeds, and lagged. My troubleshoot was that I pumped in some very nasty and bad gas, that probbaly clogged up my fuel filter and sock.

With the rising gas prices these days, its best to stick to a brand name gas station that you can trust even if its slightly higer than the rest. At least in the end you don't have to regret that your car died on the road due to bad gas.

Either buy your gas from Amoco, Shell, or Mobil.

Any other gas station winds up using left over crap from major gas stations (the bottom of the barrel, so to speak) OR gets it from other sources (airports, etc). I worked at a Thorntons out here for years and would sign off on the deliveries, noticing the gas was coming from odd places.

They sell it discounted & cheaper for a reason, it's **** gas that I wouldn't put in my lawnmower, let alone my car.
