I figured it was a marketing gimmick to get you to buy 88 and then they would finally raise the price, but it’s been years. are they adding extra ethanol or something?

    Problems with ethanol in gas usually happen over a longer time, not within a single tank of gas. That pump was probably faulty to begin with. I would recommend lower ethanol fuel for older vehicles though, so it’s not bad advice. But it isn’t like pure acid that will dissolve the car within no time.

      Appreciate your perspective. Makes more logical sense than the “shouldn’t have used ethanol” responses I got. Thanks!
