By deerpark , February 20, in General Discussion. Not only does the gas suck but the Wawa pumps always charge me a couple extra bucks, even when the price and the amount of fuel is the same as compared to other places. I'll still eat their highly processed made to order frozen food. Actually I stay away from most of their food with the exception of their tuna fish hoagies. The WAWA in Parsippany quite often usually has the lowest price in the area and I have never had a problem using their gas in my Silverado. So, you'll stay away from their gas, but eat their unknown sourced tuna????? One way to see if fuel was problem run engine on separate tank. I still have one that I use but we do not see the ethanol spikes that often anymore. What vehicles do you have that run like crap or better on certain gas? What octane? There is barely any difference in modern gas brands. Ethanol is added to fuel at the fuel truck when fuel is dispensed into the truck the ethanol is stored in separate tank from the fuel. It is simple test vial you fill it with water to the mark add fuel to the mark shake it and the ethanol separates and then you read the amount of ethanol on the graduation.

Then again, if more wawa gasoline quality one poster has had a problem with rough running engines after using their fuel, maybe there is an issue. Later, a cop told me that there were numerous stalled vehicles in that area.

Looking for anyone who has had problems with gas in the past few days from the wawa on mountain ave. I would think that instead of the gas being a problem I would suspect condensation in the gas tank. Or possibly a fuel filter issue if your tank was all the way empty as that sucks up the layer of sediment on the bottom of your tank. I would think a can of dry gas for the first issue or fuel system additive for cleaning the fuel system for the second issue. It is very rare for any reputable station with high volume to have an issue with the quality of the gas that would affect the running of the car as long as you get the right octane level for your car. Later, a cop told me that there were numerous stalled vehicles in that area.

An analysis by AAA reveals that gas with detergent additives can keep an engine running smoothly. Not all gasoline is created equal. Testing from that membership group revealed that consumers would be wise to factor the quality of the gasoline into their purchase decision, even if it costs a little more. Gasoline is essentially a shared commodity, often stored in common containers until it is purchased by a major retailer. After that, the retailer treats the gas with a specific additive, thereby giving the fuel its brand identity. But are these additives just a dosage of marketing hype? Over the past 20 years, engines have become far more precise, operating under tighter tolerances and at higher compression ratios, while targeting cleaner emissions and improved fuel economy. Keeping things simple for consumers, when a participating retailer sells Top Tier fuel, all octane grades from regular to premium gasoline and diesel must adhere to the Top Tier standards.

For many drivers, when the fuel gauge nears empty they pull into the gas station that is most convenient, or has the lowest price. However, there are subtle differences between various brands and the specific formulations they mix into the fuel. This also means there are certain gas stations with the best quality fuel for your car in All gasoline sold in the U. The differences between brands come in the additives and detergents added to the blend to help extend the life of the engine. Brands that qualify as Top Tier contain additional detergents beyond the minimum requirements, and help prevent carbon buildup in car engines. Over time, the furnace that is the modern engine will accumulate carbon residue, a byproduct of the motor's combustion process that happens thousands of times per minute. Like barnacles on a boat, carbon deposits can build up on vital engine parts, like valves, pistons and the combustion chamber. As the carbon accrues, engines will run rougher and less efficiently ie, less power or decreased fuel economy. According to one AAA survey , Top Tier fuels left 19 times fewer deposits after simulating driving 4, miles in an engine lab.

That ship has sailed. We have done business years ago. If you would like to comment directly to one person, you may click on the envelope next to the posters name if they provided their email. Its as though their pumps are over reporting by a gallon or two. Funny the things you remember. Send a private message to rochey Anyone have any thoughts? I did BP gave me a CEL once and took it to the dealer since it didnt go away after i cleared it. Apart from that, the stores will also reimburse you for the fuel that caused any problem in your car.
