Do you have a more detailed location? Since I'm right off of 84, that'd be extremely close for me.

76 is the tuner's pump gas of choice.
could the truck driver have filled the wrong tank at that station? or could the OP have selected the wrong grade? i've done that once before

At the race track in motorcycles we dump the tank right after using it and flush the system with 91. But avoid using it as much as we can.
This is a rather blanket statement.

I've run VP100 UL in my car 24/7 for over a year with no issues.

Thats it.. I always forget that exit... The sell a few differant brands and octanes. I think they have 115 low lead right from the pump.

But they also sell 100 and 109 unleaded from the pump too.
