Gasoline is getting really bad.

Back in my younger days I had 3 service stations when I got out of the Army. I sold out, got married and went back and finished school. In '74 we had the OPEC oil embargo. I still knew a lot of dealers and a few months into the "gas shortage" they were saying "Tom, smell this gas! It's old and getting older!" At that time, if you remember, gas had a odor that got worse with time. Today, with all the crap they add to gasoline it doesn't stink but it is getting really bad. Ask any motorcycle repair shop or auto repair shop- the problems with carbs, fuel systems, fuel injection is going off the wall. I add Seafoam when I fill up- I think it works good. There are other additives I have heard, but be careful there is no gasoline shortage, there is an abundance of greed among the good old oil companies.
