I noticed I believe some lowering of the stonking acceleration power after filling up with juice.

I just refilled again and bought some of the expensive Esso unleaded and seem to have got that extreme "rush" back.

I'm not sure if I'm imagining things but that first lot of fuel seemed crummy. Is this common occourance?

It's surprisingly common around here, especially in rural areas and at no-name gas stations. I'm not overly choosy with the car, but I try to stick with major brands when filling the bikes, and whenever possible I like to buy from a select few local stations whom I know to keep their tanks well maintained. Otherwise, it's all too easy to end up with bare minimum additive packages, fraudulently low octane, and/or water contamination in the fuel.
