today i stopped by one of our local "budget" fuel station and put about 71/2 gallons of the regular stuff in the tank and immediately after i found that i could not get the engine above 2 1/2 tho. rpm with it in gear, with it in netural i can rap it all the way past 5 grand. being less then 500 feet from one of our shops i pull in and quick check shows TPS, fuel pressure, and ign to all 6 plugs good. so i take the Chance and drive it the 20 miles home and notice the hotter i get the engine the better it runs, instead of choking at 2 1/2 grand it will start to choke about 3 1/2 grand after pulling the canyons in third(with a very pissed off line of traffic behind me). so before i start to taring in to my only daily driver has any one experienced bad fuel and what was it like?
