Re: Bad Gasoline...be careful

I heard it was the regular and midgrade not the premium. Their selling premium here in Tampa at 1.94 in order to keep business. You cant buy the midgrade or regular at this time. As for the boat takin premium I guess its quite the savings since everyone else is 2.25 for premium.
