So I'm on my way back from Wyoming to Wisconsin (about 1,200 mile trip), I'm in Minnesota on I-90 and notice that I'm at a quarter tank of gas. DIC says about 80 miles to go before I run out. I see a exit with a gas station but I know that one has ****ty gas with ethanol and 91 octane so I decided to see what the next exit has. I usually try to put 93 octane in with no ethanol. It's like 70 miles before I see a freakin gas station. I try to start filling up and the pump is dead. The entire gas station was down for renovations. ARG!!!!!!! My needle is now below the empty line and I'm startin to get worried and pissed. Guy tells me to drive down the road 2 miles into this tiny ass town. It was some family owned convenience store with the old fashion single hose pump. Put 5 bucks in and crossed my fingers. Back to the highway. Car ran like complete crap and it felt like i was damaging the motor and I probably was! 20 miles down the road I finally find a normal gas station that's open and has decent gas. What a pain in the ass! I hate South Dakota and Minnesota!!!!!!!!

Hey now. MN, go ahead and hate it, not SD
 
with my luck, i'd ran outta gas trying to trust the dic. glad u didn't get stranded and "bubba"came to help.
 


Damn near close, not sure how I didn't run out of gas. Random unleaded regular fuel in the middle of nowhere that who the hell knows how long it was sitting there does NOT run well in a car with a few mods and a tuned pcm!
