I see a lot of trailers in NY registered to Maine. 5 years for the plate as opposed to one.

It definitely sucks. Thank god JR has a repair plate in the body shop. NO EMISSIONS REQUIRED with it. some guys register in TEXAS. I am told many people with motor homes ude texas as their home state even though they are on the road and some dont have permanent addresses. ESCAPEES is an organization that can do this i am told

Yes sir! Everything's better in Texas!

Ok pulled the tank today on my BIRD. FIREBIRD that is. And the whole thing stunk like hell. It was filled with rust colored gas and the sock was in good shape other than this disgusting thing they call gas. It turned a dark dark Yellow or orange. I am going to install a stainless tank and pickup without the sock. I am planning on installing an outside Pre-Filter so i can change it without dropping the tank. The fuel is app 4 months old and i use stable. I am going to use another brand as a test. BP is my normal fuel but i am going to switch. Any ideas of what happened. Please comment. The pump is next on my list. Is their a better stable available. The guys at the local MARINA tell me that the stable for boat engines is much better. Any opinions?? Thanks

I don't know how I missed this thread.

About 2 years ago I noticed my car was getting 5-10% worse gas mileage after a tune up. I was sure I had a bad spark plug or something and couldn't figure it out. There were days when I was driving over 400 miles a day for work, and this was a big impact. I went from 27-29mpg average freeway to 24-27mpg. I stopped filling up at a local maverik gas station and my mileage went back up. Some of my work trucks at fuel pump when filled with maverik gas, so I assumed it was just cruddy gas.

Started filling up at flying j's and 7-11 and all was good. Chevron and philips 66 and conoco gas stations started doing the same thing, worse mileage, slight loss in power.

Found out in june 2010 utah joined the 10% club. I think it ought to be against the law to water down gas. Almost every 7-11 no longer has pumps, and flying j's are generally a ways off now that I don't drive so much freeway.

Locally we have several gas stations that started a website called no ethonal partnership or something like that. There's about 6 in about a 25 mile area, and I stop and fill up at one everytime I can.

One plug though, I could advance my timing from 12 degree's to a bit over 16 without any pinging, and slightly better throttle response. Still cruddy gas mileage though. My crown vic I can barely hit 20mpg average over a tank with 100% freeway now. Before I could hit 22-23mpg.
