Scott,
I agree with you some "off branded" gasolines do have an off odor, but I
have never smelled one like ammonia! Anyway my thought has always been that
convience store gas is as good as any one elses as long as it comes from a
reputable supplier, and their tanks are good! We have reformulated gas here
and I have not noticed any off odor to the gas. When it was first
introduced I noticed a decrease in mileage in the MG and in our Taurus.
Safety Fast !!!
