Unleaded Gas from Baton Rouge to New Orleans causing engine problems?

Highly doubtful that gas from just two chains causes the problems. Gas isn't brand specific per se.

However, if two specific stores got a delivery from the same truck there could be a correlation.

Local dealerships in AP, EBR and Livingston are reporting high volumes in their shop with similar issues.

whats wrong with racetrack?


and where are the reports of this? i see no link.

Dont have a link...just hearsay at the moment.
Once again, TD will beat the local news.

This is very much true. Hearing race track and Murphy too

This is where I would look for the contamination. Quality is super controlled up to this point. Not that QC isn't serious in the transport phase, but if it was in the tank farm I would think the problem would be everywhere.

there is truth to this, dropped my vehicle off at the dealership yesterday. VSC and check engine light had both come on and it was vibrating pretty violently.

They called back this morning and said they have no idea how to fix the issue and are awaiting word. they were instructed not to start the truck again.

fwiw, i filled up friday at the exxon on perkins/siegen and the problems started saturday.

eta: they also said they've had calls from approximately three dozen other people experiencing the same thing

I've been having same issues with my car. I told my wife it seemed like bad gas issue. It sucks that this happened especially right after I just got the car worked on less than a month ago.

Sounds like my vehicle, except no check engine light. Only happened in the morning, no problems starting after that. Husband was about to try and change out the fuel pump or take it somewhere and see of they could figure it out, but a friend told him the same thing was happening to his newish truck and the dealership told him it might be bad gas. (He always fills up at Exxon FWIW.)

So we put in a can of fuel treatment, then put in about 5 gallons of premium from Shell, and so far I haven't had any issues. Crossing my fingers bad gas is all it was.
