Recently with all the problems with my car being connected
to the Sheetz gas station cleared up, I was able to move on with other things
in my life. But yesterday I met the mechanic who worked on my car and informed
me on problems other people were experiencing the same problem I had.
The culprit; ethanol. Older vehicles cannot handle ethanol
as it clogs up the fuel injectors. It took two large bottles of the cleaning
agent to get all the knocks and kinks out of the engine. I was lucky because
many more people had to have their entire system taken out and cleaned. But
that day he told me something that most people do not seem to know or once they
do they forget about it.
There are many different grades of gasoline sold here in
America. People are mainly used to seeing three of these grades when they are
at the gas station. Four if you count diesel. At this man garage, he has a
contract with the town to service all the police and city equipment. To handle their
needs he has to carry the highest grade of gas there is to better handle these
vehicles. And that means it’s a bit more expensive than the usual price of gas.
But the payoff is the increase gas millage and a cleaner engine one can get that
using the cheapest gas.
So now I’m trying out his gas to see if paying more will
come out better for my car in the long run. But I do know that I’ll never get
any gas from a gas station that has ethanol in it. News Story about this gas station click here.
