quality of gas ... or lack of it !

[jesper moreau]

My best guess is being that the fuel prices are so high, the higher
octane fuels are not being used nearly as frequently as before
"Katrina" hit, therefore condensation is building up in the tanks. I
have an '88 5KTQ which will not run well on low grade and I too have
been experiencing poor running even on 93.
Pay serious money for quality fuel and still get water. Nice!
