Gas Stations Selling Low Octane Fuel That Can Void Your Warranty

Let the driver beware: Not all gasoline is created equal. As the summer vacation driving season begins, paying attention at the pump can add miles per gallon to your fuel economy, and protect your engine.

Differences in octane level and the amount of ethanol added to gasoline can have a dramatic impact on fuel economy and emissions. In a worst-case scenario, using bad gas could even void the manufacturer’s warranty.

Next, do-it-yourself refine your own gasoline and mix your preferred octane (i.e. racing 110+). The gas station would just dispense sweet crude and it would be entirely up to the driver to figure out how to use it ;)

And of course there would be a "bright side" to this. The remaining tar can be used to patch up your own driveway ;)
