Well that sucks, Man I sure miss those days when I used to pay around $0.50 per gallon for 100 octane leaded gasoline. Only drawback was cleaning the lead off the plugs once in a while.... Sigh! Now they make fuel out of food, crappy fuel...sigh!
Well time moves on for better or worse. I can get 94 octane at Duncan, Vancouver Island. There are a lot of racers and gear heads over there so the gas is always fresh. Not so on Pender Island where I live, no gear heads and gas so bad I put regular in and an octane booster to get me off the island.
But then none of this deals with tbtx2010's question. I hope we helped more than muddled.
