No, that couldn't be it as it would go for month on one
than months on the other than back and I used different stations.

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

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