Unhappy UGH!! Regular gas

Due to the gas issues in the Atlanta metro area.
I had to buy regular gas
About 5 gal.

I know it will be fine and I KNOW I over spoil but man
It did not feel good doing so.

I know right!

It's like going to a car wash instead of getting it hand washed.

Charlotte is suffering as well, but not as bad.
Gas prices are up too - they are taking advantage of the shortage for sure.

A had an incompetent gas station attendant fill me with regular recently. Main issues were a modest loss of mid-range power and slightly lower fuel economy.

Didn't bother. Most of those are snake oil.

Bummer. 93 is nowhere to be found in Charlotte.

I picked up 2 cans of Royal Purple octane booster. It claims to increase 15 gallons by 3 points, so that should get me to 93. I'm more concerned about my wife's Explorer since we're running a 'stage 1' tune on it.

Ha! We were told not to come in today as well.
Waze was showing traffic worse than usual on 77 though - probably another accident this morning.

Onto 93 hunting. Hopefully shell delivers.

FWIW, my wife has been consistently getting 93 on 521 going into Indian Land. Filled up on Monday and topped off again yesterday.
