Yay!!!

I saw you replied, Scott, and I figured "finally, someone got it!"

Yeah, I was pissed.

This happened one night with the CB7 too. The supervisor on duty was a total dumbass, and had no clue what to do (and not enough sense to call someone who would). The kid that pumped the gas said "it's still gas"... Luckilly it was alright.

Today, the supervisor seemed to give me the same reaction. "Our gas has a high enough octane rating that it won't do any damage"... I asked her if she knew what the octane rating meant, or why it mattered... she just kind of ignored that question. Her manager was outside chatting with someone, so she didn't bother talking to me. The supervisor I was talking to called some guy to ask where their "pamphlets" were that explained their gas (I know all about gas and octane ratings... far better than she does, I'm sure)... then she pretty much pushed past me to leave the office, grabbed a bottle of octane booster, and said "take this, it'll fix the problem. free of charge."... No pinging, so I suppose it's good. Still... they were quite rude.

welcome to new jersey, the land of full-service.

ill take my NY gas pumps anyday, i hate letting other people fill my tank.

[Accord R33]

but how do you know if its regular or not, because it doesnt say on the rcpt? ? gas is still quite a bit more expensive than that here...

Thats what i was thinking

[deevergote]

I don't know how to pump my own gas! Last time I did it was the last time you saw me in person, Eric!

The doober that pumped the gas even SAID "$20 premium?" I ALWAYS look to make sure they hit the 93 button... this ONE time that I don't look (probably because he so clearly repeated what I asked for) and he screws it up. My CEL is on... I should blame it on them

I don't know how to pump my own gas!

wow deev you are a noob . i have never had someone pump my gas living here in washington. i hear gas stations down in oregon do it for you though

[The G-Man]

It is full service in NJ?

[deevergote]

Yeah... mandatory. It's actually illegal to pump your own gas.

[Lil' Whitie]

whoa! really? hahah nice i never heard of ppl pumping ur gas. man thats pimp!

haha u got it made deeve. cept i don't have to pump gas anymore for a while...

[Turbo Dave]

Yeah... mandatory. It's actually illegal to pump your own gas.

thats strange... i swear i got gas in my stang in jersey i pumped myself

ohh now i rmemeber, i had no idea what full service was, and when i pulled up some guy came up and opened the gas tank on my mustang and i was like wtf are you doing you dont touch this car! yeah i pumped my own lol.

[owequitit]

I figured it was regular, because under product it just said unleaded.

I figured it would have said something like Plus for mid grade and premium for premium, since unleaded is a generic descriptor that applies to all gas sold in the US.

Hopefully the octane booster will take care of the problem until you get the next tank of gas.

And to think, all of that because some dumbass couldn't ground his portable tank by placing it on the ground, and blew themselves up.

At least that is why Oregons law exists. Don't know about Jersey.

Ironically, this is one of my prime fears with flying. We typically don't pump our own gas, and it is always part of the preflight to make sure they put the correct fuel in. Luckily it is color coded.

A jet engine will run with limitations on 100LL, but a piston engine will NOT run very well on Jet Fuel, so you have to be careful.

They also ground the truck to the plane, and then the plane to the ground, just to make sure things don't go boom.

I think you will be fine, just keep an eye out for any trouble. Hopefully, the knock sensors will save you.

Does it seem sluggish to you?

[MikeW]

Deev, you didnt say it was a Full-service station rcpt....

Figures..thats "Old Mr. Murphy". "If it can happen, it will happen" The one time you DONT look, they pump in regular

As much as i would enjoy full-service, i definitely wouldnt trust anybody putting gas in my car. Self-Serv FTW! :P
