crud gas

I go to college in Socorro NM ans the gas here sucks. When i use it i go from 17mpg in town to 13 mpg in town. I backfire, i lose power, fuel filter clogs faster, it sucks. It is the only place to get fuel for miles. Any suggestions? Additives something. I use MMO and it helps some, but i still lose performance and gas mileage like you wouldnt believe.

Think its bad there, come to Kentucky. Kentucky has been the dumping ground for bad gas for years. I personally think maybe you gotta ahold of some gaster 1/2 gas 1/2 water

Maybe a can of Heat? anyone know if thats bad on the car?

Go to Some Store, order yourself an rotary powered industrial oil drill, then go find your own crude oil. Next step is to go to Other Store and order a oil refinery factory.

Or the cheaper way: I would go find a good gas station and buy lots of 5 gallon tanks and store up... It's not that good for the gas but it's better than the shitty gas... Just plan a day o the week to go out there for more gas...

Ok--so maybe those aren't good ideas... But they are worth a shot?

yeah i though there may be water in the gas. That can of heat stuff is pure alchohol right? I heard that alchohol in the gas will slowly eat at you lines and leave residue in the carb is that true? Could that isoheat stuff help the crud gas?

Dunno exactly what is in Heat, but I tried some once just cuz I get bored and play around with stupid stuff. But what i did was pour a few drops of water on the concrete poured some heat on it, and bam they were gone
