Ok,
I've been filling up at just one gas station in this town I work in for about 7 months. It is the oldest and crappiest gas station in the town but the only one with 93 octane ( or so they say).

I have asked and the lady assures me it is.

Lately I have been noticing things that make me think otherwise.

1. I took an 8 hr trip home filling up twice in the Dallas area. After the 2nd time I filled it, the car felt like a completely different animal.

( I have a tune so no fuse pull required)

2. The next time I get gas at the station where I work, I look and read the little agriculture stamp that says gas stations are required to have. The year that was stamped was 2010.

3. There is a gas truck there filling the tanks up. There is 3 different holes where he plugs into ( I'm guessing 1 for each octane level). I see him finish filling one and then open and start filling the next one. Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think they carry different octane levels in the truck.

Can anyone give me any advise on what I should do?

In Texas, btw
