Crap gas? Quick poll.

As premium fuel hits $4, even $5, yes five bux a gal for Exxon premium here in DC,
I am seeing even more traffic at the always-packed discount independents.

But...I've noticed my base Box does not like indie gas. It seems to run ok, but I'm pretty sure am losing 3-4 mpg when I use it. For real.

Which to me means the car is adjusting for a far lower actual octane level
by enriching substantially.

Is it just not that good, is it fraud?

Your experiences, knowledge?
