Texaco All Seasons Food Stop on N.Eldrige and Wortham Falls Do NOT buy gas from there My car was running fine on the way home this morning and i was on "E" so i get to the nearest gas station and it was a Texaco which is next door to a do it yourself carwash and dry cleaners. I put about 7 gallons of "power premium" in and fire it up when im leaving the parking lot the car dies on me. I crank it again and my car sounds like absolute **** past 2K its like a misfire sound but CONSTANT kinda lika a lawn mower thats exactly what it sounded like. My car would constantly buck and shake and have knock(autotap)violently in 6th gear.
I think I got some bad fuel from there. I dont know what to do now..siphon and call. If I call what do i say and demand
Hope I saved someones day!

Get your car back there and act like you pumped the gas today, pump more if you have too. Whatever you do don't go back and tell them it happened yesterday. Act like it just happenened and dont leave untill they offer to fix it.
