Thanks for all the replies i have an ethanol free station down the road and when i get home from work i will run it down and refill it. I havent had any problems with the Chevron up till that point. I havent had any problems with Shell either. Like said about might have just clogged an injector for a second or two. I will see if the check engine light keeps popping on and off after i have run a tank through hopefully it will go out and stay out.

Nope don't think I've ever had the service light come on.

use Speedway, shell, or some BP if it doesn't have Ethanol..
glad we still have about 50% of our stations that doesn't have Ethanol yet.

My '03 is stock, low compression, but an occasional gallon or two for the "high test" keeps her happy.
What is 100 octane costing a gal these days? I can get 104 unleaded for $8.66 a gal I thought it was a bit high. They also sell 110&114 leaded dident ask the price. Was thinking of mixing some in 93 octane. See how she runs. 2009 103ci stage1 no cats
