TAINTED GAS SOLD IN NW...saw it on tv kiro news.

LINK Kiro News

i visit family members in bellingham every weekend and always fillup at the 76 station on iowa street right by the on ramp. car has been running like **** last few weeks, just heard on news and would explain my ****ty acceleration and car stalling about every day. check the link out and call one of the local authorized dealers on the list. they will flush your fuel system for free, if there is any other damage done to your car because of they tainted fuel they will have to call in for authorization. the cost will be picked up by conocco/76 station gas company. i already have an appointment, you should get yours checked out too.

a buddy works at firestone in redmond and they have been trying to figure out why a customers van stopped running after 2 days of messing with everything they came up with the conclusion that it was the gas and the owner of the vehicle only buys 76 gas.i think i would rather use arrco i will never use 76 after this.

Once bitten twice shy, eh?!

So if a certain brand of alcohol gives you a hangover you never gonna drink it again?!

It's funny. I would never buy from them again if they didn't go out of their way to fixit like they are. But honesty and integrity like that, from a company, is hard to come by, and I fill up at Chevron EVERY time I fill up...

I use chevron, a few engineers on corral did some octane testing on gas in local areas and found chevron to be most accurate towards advertised ratings..

also teh big three ship in chevorn for their factory emissions testing, so I figure it's gotta be good.. but whatever gas may be gas.
