Gas in Parker Stinks

[goneboatin]

I filled up my truck and boat at the Chevron station in Parker Saturday, and man, what are they adding to the gas there? It stinks, it smells alot like natural gas. I didn't see any postings stating that there was any methonal added. What's the deal?

Sulphur? That's third-world stuff...

There isn't such thing as domestic gasoline anymore is there?

a little tip here is since i blend az gas,really the only specs you need to make are octane and rvp unlike cali where there are 100 you specs to make before it goes to the pump.so they make is with they shitty components with just enough good stuff to make octane and rvp.

I filled my boat up there last yr. & my boat never run after that time.... I thought i had a major problem....
so i had to pull my boat all the way home to find out....
there was so much water in the gas that.... after draining my tanks .... the gas would'nt even burn with a liter be held *lit* next to it.....
I've learn to bring a 55gallon drum now...instead of towing my boat home

Although it may stink...like boatnam said, the important thing is the octane rating.
Guys (like Hustler) have ruined engines from bad Parker gas (water in the tanks).

Have heard a couple stories about the fuel in Parker :hammerhea

No problem running the boat or truck, they both ran like champs. The boat runs on 87, the truck I run 91 since I had the computer tuned, but the Chevron gas is only 90.5 octane. But no probs, no pinging, it's all good. Just stinky.

I have wondered about that. I always seem to get the worst gas mileage on the way home after I fill up at the Chevron.

[svlperry]

gas up at am/pm boat ran great all weekend in fact the best it ran in a long while

[Boa1277]

Parker Oil works for us we usually have to mix 10 gallons of a/v gas on each side and we never had a problem with their gas.

I filled the boat there Fri night, ran good all day Sat.

I always fill up in parker at the AM/PM on the corner of the 95.....Runs great in the boat and the truck. Done the same since 1995.....AZ gas always seems to have more power when towing and driving around.

Parker Oil had the problem with the water last summer. Hustler and Big Proppa as well as some others had some carb and motor problems because of it. I used to use the am/pm until the stupid bitch at the counter gave my card to some dude and he drove off with it. Had to report my card stolen, what a mess. I have been using the Chevron with no problems but did notice that the 91 oct is now 90 oct?????

Not to stay too far off the subject, would you beleive that regular is $2.02 in the Baltimore area. I'm here on business and can't beleive how cheap it is. :angry2: Then again it only seems cheap because they have brainwashed us into thinking that 2 bucks a gallon is cheap. WTF. :frown:
