Fuel these days...

So yesterday, I went to my favorite gas station in Champaign and found that they had changed the formula of the gas provided to the gas station. They now had posted on every pump that their gas contained 10% ethanol AND a new STP additive. Maybe I am ignorant to the new ways, but can't we buy normal unihibited gas anymore. This stuff is dilluted crap..

I filled up with a similar gas a couple of weeks ago while I was in Chicago, with our FJ, and within 50 miles it sputtered and the gas milage dropped tremendously. Yesterday I filled up at another gas station, out of town a bit, without all the advertisements, and the fj was back to normal.

Is this what we must look forward to in the future, No gas, just additives!!

Simply had to vent, thanks.. :dance:
