You got to love biased reporting.
As Paul Harvey would say, and now the rest of the story.
The gas station is next to a race track and they sell 100 octane gas for race cars. That high priced gas is getting to be close to $10 per gallon and so they reprogrammed their pumps for the purpose of selling racing gasoline.
I didn't even catch that.
Over here, they only sell 91 and 95 octane gas (and the 95 is only a few pennies more than the 91). I completely forgot about 87 octane being the norm in the States.
