I haven't had any really BAD gas for over 20 years, however the reformulated
stuff in the Chicago-Milwaukee isn't very good.

I travel like 8 states, and although most of it is 10% ethanol (not good)
some of it is still the real stuff, and I buy as much of that as I can.

The '95MTX usually makes bad sounds (@WOT when the secondaries open) and is
down on power when it has to run on 10% 87 octane ethanol.

A shot of 92 octane "real gasoline" really helps, but it is getting harder
and harder to find.
