Hello Wayne - 

--8<--cut 

->> Fortunately you have friends to watch over you. ;-) 

WC> Yeah there are a few of you.

WC> The worst was on leaving Florida once I topped the tank at
WC> a state line Ameco and the bloody car spit and sputtered
WC> most of the way to Tenneessee. 

A friend had to come and retrieve me from downtown Detroit at
4am some decades ago and while there he had to buy gas at a
"Purple Martin" gas station (he was on empty). His car (brand
new) never ran right after that and he blamed me and that
'Purple Martin' gasoline he had to buy while downtown. I've
never seen a 'Purple Martin' station before or since. :-) 

WC> I always used premium Ameco in the motorcycles and that
WC> made a very noticable difference. Too spensive these days
WC> :-( 

I owned a tweaked Pontiac that had to use either Shell premium
or Sunoco 260 to avoid puffing black smoke out the exhaust.
THAT was expensive at 10 mpg!
