Default Cheap premium gas

The shell stations are having a problem with a high sulfer content in their gas. They shut down several stations because of this but alot of them are selling only premium which seems unaffected by this for the price of regular (1.93). Alot of the shell stations are doing this so keep and eye out for it.

I'd say that the premium is fine or they wouldn't sell it and being that alot of us have performance cars we run premo and this saves us 20 cents a gallon if not more.

The one of eastbay in largo has it cheap and the one off missouri/rosery both have this going on here in largo. Happy pumping

ahahahahhahaaaa! I saw some crazy shit today. Corner of 49th street and Park Blvd in St.Pete. This gas station is now called STORM and looks completely retarded and kind of like a big bumble bee now with its yellow/black paint job but the prices were nice.

I believe 93 octane was right about 2.04.
I am going there for now on and hopefully I dont get sand from their tanks or some shit.

This trouble with the gas is not just Shell and in Florida. I am still up here in western NY for another week(moving to Florida) and we are having the same problems here. The gas gauges have all but quit working on our cars because of this sulfer content in the gas. It seems to only be affecting GM cars here because they now use some sort of electronic sensor to measure fuel level instead of the the good old float system everyone else is still useing. It's costing us nearly $300 to have my wifes 2000 Bonneville fixed.
