Thank you

Gas won't cause three fuel pumps in 5200 miles.

I think it absolutely makes no difference what gas you use.

Minas335 · 02-05-2010, 11:31 PM

Is gas isnt the reason then what could it be?

demosthenes · 02-05-2010, 11:37 PM

The gas you are using is "top tier". See http://www.toptiergas.com/. I don't think you can do any better.

Poor engineering.

Unless the gas you are buying has rocks in it... and you bypassed your fuel filter... It's an engineering defect not a fuel issue.

Thanks guys and I thought it was because of the gas I put in the car. Its horrible 3 times in less then 5200 miles and the last one I almost got in a car accident cuz the car shut off on me in the middle of the freeway doin 65-80 mph lol barely made it to the emergency lane got almost hit 2 times f&^%in idiots I turned the emergency lights on and these idiots wouldnt let me change lanes just drive fast at you. Hate LA drivers.

Yeah, gas has nothing to do with it...i pump gas on a naval base here in san diego, and it's probably some of the lowest quality around to say the least, but i get very, very good mileage out of the tank...oh and i'm on my 3rd pump...yay for shitty engineering.

Yes and Mobil gas isn't considered top tier, so I wouldn't use it.
