Default Bad Gas in Hampton Roads VA

If anyone lives in the Norfolk area, there is a problem with bad gasoline. Its comming through the unleaded pumps at 40-50% ethanol. I have gotten some myself and it sucks.

Where did you buy the gas, Monster Joe's Truck, Tow & Gas? I have not had an issue with gas around here, though I usually buy gas on the Naval Base or in Newport News. I am also curious how it's known it's 40-50%?

Sean,

I actually got mine somewhere last week while headed back from the track in Petersberg. It sucked, made the entire engine vibrate then I noticed it on the news that night. Ethanol rocks as an boost alky injection but not as 50% additive in your unleaded fuel, lol.
