How Nice

Not only is the price of gas giving you a headache, but it looks as if the product itself may be crap.

Akron- Some motorists aren’t getting the quality of gasoline they’re paying for.
Testing of 240 service stations in Summit County – the state’s first program to test fuel quality – found dozens of violations.
The violations included water in fuel and a few instances of octane levels lower than advertised. In hundreds of less-serious cases, inspectors said they found circumstances that could lead to contamination of storage tanks.

Isn’t this lovely? Ahh, the gas industry.

That might be good news for me – I thought my car was having idling problems – maybe it’s just water in my gasoline!! No more filling up in Fairlawn… :) An interesting, intelligent Ohio blog – I’m so glad to have found your blog, Sean.

Heh. It does make you wonder how many car problems have to do with watered down or shitty gas. Thanks for the compliment. I like yours as well, especially the design.
