Channel 11 just documented (proved via octane testing) that stations in our area have been dumping regular gas (87 octane) into the premium containers.

16 were documented, but of course the real number could be much larger.

So be careful, this rip off could prove very catastrophic for our engines!

Wow, only in Houston buddy After I came down to Cali I noticed the price difference. Damn, it was 2.49 in Tx and here it was 3.09/gallon. This hurts

Yikes!!! Not the first I've heard of this. Fuels guys just dumping off to empty their tanker. This is exactly why I have no boost controller and maintain factory protection AND keep a conservative pump tune EVEN with Meth as you never know. As others have said: the best fuel is out of a can!!!

if the premium has been sitting for a long time it will loose a point a month or so. So a point low wold not raise any eyebrows but 3 points would be bad. did the article say what the tested number was?

this crap is probably true in every state
