Seattle PI: Tainted gasoline causes rush for repairs – Some Western Washington auto-repair shops are being flooded with complaints of cars running roughly after reports of bad gasoline hitting the market. ConocoPhillips is warning that a batch of gas from its Ferndale refinery distributed to … one of the roughly 300 ConocoPhillips stations in Western Washington, which operate under the name 76. Gasoline stations that operate under other names could have received the gas as well … as many as 14 Western Washington counties was contaminated with a chemical compound that clogs fuel injectors.

Thankfully, I don’t think I’ve ever been to a 76. For some reason, they always seem to be rather pricy. Chevron too for that matter. I typically go to Arco: even though they have a 35 cent surcharge per visit for using your ATM card – which pisses some people off, but rarely have cash handy – they are often 15-20 cents less per gallon. Even so… scary stuff.

Besides, I don’t even think my Wrangler has fuel injectors.
