i'm not even kidding, this was in williamsburg at the zooms on john tyler last month. it ruined the fuel system in my gf's mom's benz and 5other cars in that neighborhood. the s2k flamed out as well as a bently. the gas station is paying for it all, but they tried to deny it at first. there were SOOO many tow trucks in and out of that neighborhood, a "gated community" with a country club.... lost of money

I'm guessing the types & how much detergent or additives are used

Even that I don't support Bush policies, I don't agree for him to come to this country an insulte the President. It was unprofessional!!!!!

However, we buy a lot of stuff that god knows who are we supporting!

I heard this, but AFAIK it's not done yet. As long as the 7-11 has a Citgo logo out front, it's gonna be Citgo gas.

In the Phillipines we had 95 Octane and even 96 on some other pumps. I wonder why they dont have it here though... Usualy on our gas stations one gas pump has 4 handles(pump)
1.Diesel
2.Unleaded
3.Premium
4.Special (Shell V-Power "former Shell Velocity", Petron XCS, etc.) 95-96 Octane

http://www.shell.com/home/Framework?...ower_0308.html

I wouldnt mind adding a couple more cents for a couple more octane.
