Default Sheetz killed my chicken......

I never get sheetz gas EVER.....ran the TA the entire way past the E and figured i wasnt gonna make it back to town....SO, i broke my own rules and hit up a sheetz on the way home. Cruised around for 20 or 30 minutes turned her off and that was the end of that one. Would try to start and idled at 500rpms then it'd die. 20$ worth of water remover and an octane boost and she started right up and has been running fine ever since..........Is there no way they can get in trouble for that? Is it unproveable or something that they're sue-proof? Cause lemme tell ya.....I was pi$$d and still am.

What the hell is sheetz? That must be some weird nothern thing. I buy all my gas at the same exact gas stations. One is right by my house and the other is right by Jason's shop where I work on my cars.

I wasn't sure if it was actually a business or if someone was using a play on words of this business title. Now I know it's actually called sheetz.

sheetz sucks...as far as food goes and now apparently gas. I never go there to get gas but my parents do. I try to stay away from discount gas places. My parents always get gas at the cheapest place possible which usually means sheetz or kroger. My uncle actually got a tank full of water at a citgo or something lol (cost him like $500 to get fixed because he had a shop drop the tank and replace the fuel pump)...ugh we pay high gas prices and risk getting water. WTF.

Sure as **** isn't in this northern neck of the woods lol Never heard of them. I usually get Super America, since we don't have many Shell stations around here. There's actually a fairly quality place called Kwik Trip who's been selling their Mid-Grade gas for the same price as low grade. But I haven't been driving due to winter, so I don't really know if it IS really mid-grade or just low-grade in mid-grade tanks heh

so... what did you do to get all the water out? because i left my car at home and drove the saturn for a week for school, and my mom decided to drive the car and put the cheapest 87 octane she could find in it, when the lowest octane i will ever put in my car is 91... and its runnin like crap in the lower rpms and just feels like its boggin down like crazy... i have a new fuel pump, but i need am going to replace my fuel filter, but what else did you do to help your prob? did you literally like pour all $20 worth of water remover and octane booster in it to try to get rid of the water or what?

I wouldn't run Sheetz gas in my lawn mower. Other than that, I don't really mind the place. It serves it's purpose. I do agree that Wawa is much better.
