RE: Daily driver fuel Craig's Conoco at 9th So and 1300 East
Carl Buckland
Not only does Craig have good gas, but he actually provides SERVICE. I have had him do everything from oil changes to major work, and was always satisfied. He even worked on a Porsche or two for me. Once, he replaced the useless AC compressor in my 930 was a made-in-America York compressor, and it blew cold air like a Buick.
BTW, a Universal Chevron card will work at nearly all other gas stations, so you don’t even need a Conoco card.
See everyone at Miller on Sept 23-24-25.

thanks for the follow up.
woohoo! what do you know? and 92 octane. i gassed up there the other day and didn't see any of those conspiratory "10% ethanol" stickers anywhere. apparently it's Conoco fuel. But it's 1300 East 900 South, not the other way. it's the southeast corner of East High on 13th east. The signs say Craigs Service Center. pretty sad that it's one of the only places left but maybe that can change.
maybe we should have p-car morning there one of these weekends and then go to Tulie's for coffee/pastries. we could call the Tribune for a photo shoot/story about how it's good for your car, it's good for the environment, what a concept. the only people who won't like it are the corn syndicate folks.

Craig at Craig's Service Center, 1300 S 900 E, says his gasoline is
sans ethanol. And he has 92 octane premium at the pump.
In 2009 you could get 100 octane unleaded fuel (and other octanes both
unleaded and leaded) at Jensens Oil, 4800 S Redwood Rd. I haven't been
there since.

I have checked various websites and every station that was listed ethanol free has it now. I have been meaning to check out at RMR and Miller and see if the 91 they get out there is tainted as well. Anyone know about this?

The mixture seems to be inconsistent between stations too with some having more then others, with a wideband O2 sensor you can actually see the effects of gas from different stations. Older cars (like 914s) with lots of rubber fuel line need to replace it all with the newer expensive stuff or risk their cars burning to the ground when the ethanol eats through the lines.

I have read about guys mixing water into gas on purpose to drop the ethanol out and then siphoning off the pure gas, but you would probably have to be crazy to attempt this for anything bigger then a lawn mower.
