Ever get "Bad Gas"?
I recently moved and there's an Arco accross the street. I usually use 76 but since it was there and a dime cheaper I filled up with it.
Two days later, my car is sputtering, surging, coughing, missing and just fighting to keep from dying.:confused:
I filled up with 76 again with some fuel additive and quarter of a tank later, it's almost back to normal. Cheap Gas sucks! :mad
This is the first time this happened to me cause my mustang would run on 87 all the time. I have to go cancel my trip to the dealer now. :cheers:

You should avoid getting gas when they are filling the tanks at the station. It stirs up all the crap in the tanks and has a better chance of ending up in your car.

Cheap Gas sucks!
Cheap Gas sucks!
Then I stopped using BJ's premium (similar to a Sam's Club) and started using BP. Voila!! Problem goes away.
I agree -- Cheap gas does suck. I guess you get what you pay for.
