Watered down gas
Usually I get around 300 miles on a full tank in my car... recently I took a chance and went to a 3rd world gas station (aka PDQ) for cheap 3rd world gas... Filled up and everything, about a week and a half later, Im sittin near empty with about 215 miles driven so far. That really pisses me off, cause in all actuality, I just wasted more money with this ****** gas. Im a little pissed, how can gas stations do that?

Damn.......the only way I could get 300 miles on a tank of gas, is if I drove it steady on the freeway till it ran out. I'm lucky if I get 200 miles on a full tank. HHHMMMM?.........I wonder if its my driving habits?
Unfortunately I do 95% of my driving in the city, so I guess that explains it all right there. But up here if we run ARCO-AM/PM gas, it's the same way. I tried running a tank of their Super Unleaded, and boy was that a mistake.......it spit and sputtered all the way up the hill, so I've never ran it again. From now on, it's ONLY Chevron with Techron, or Texaco with Clean System 3.
