[Shotimes] Gas

[kickinsho]

Coming through Nebraska on the caravan, my '93 acted quirky with the premium 
gas we put in.   On the way back home coming through Utah, the premium gas 
(from a gas company I will not patronize anymore) actually stalled my car to 
the point where we had to bleed the fuel rails to get out the air to make it 
to the next exit.

Just my two cents.
