after ajusting my rear brakes i took the duster out for a test drive. a was low on gas so i pulled into a station near my house thati have never been in before. so i pull up to the first row of pumps and had to do a double take. expensive but .... just had to put a few galllons in.

I am in WV but may help somebody, I79 truck-stop at Jane Lew.
You have to bring a can, the hose is too short on the pump to reach a car gas tank.

There is a lot of dirt circle tracks around here, I asked the chashier one time and she said they sell a lot of that fuel.

I used to be able to get 117 octane near where I worked...

I did notice that when I ran just pump gas in my 68 340 Barracuda that when I would start it in the morning to go to work, then pull it out of the back yard, while getting out to close the gates the car would die while cold idling...

When I ran either straight hi octane or a mix of hi octane and pump gas, it would not die when cold idling while I closed the gate and would still be running when I got back in the car... For some reason the hi octane was not as sensitive to cold idling...
 
Too high an octane can also make your car run poorly....
Ya need the correct octane based on your engine configuration.

We can get the hi octane stuff at the speed shop, dragstrip, and a few special places, but they charge RAPE prices for it, and its not like pulling up to reg pump for the most part> gas cans.
