Fuel turning into coloured water

hey guys
just woundering if anyone has noticed the quality of fuel is going down the crappa i am now have trouble with some servos and there PREMIUM fuels!!!
my EF manual falcon has high comp and when i get a bit of shitty fuel my car will stutter under load and also will not idle whilst cold!!
90% of the time now i have to run 50% avgas in my tank just so the ****ing thing doesnt stutter when a year ago when i built the motor i could run it of any premium fuel and not have a problem!!!!
i think its time we put a stop to these fuel tyrants and get one back on our scoreboard!!!!!
how the **** can they get away with selling shitter fuel for more honestly!!!
cheers guys

Re: Fuel turning into coloured water

Um...using avgas in your car is illegal. It contains lead (tetraethyl lead) and due to the cat in your car you're not allowed to use it. I know it's higher quality and higher octane, but if you get caught you're looking at thousands of bucks in fines. You're not going to lose a great deal using 91 and it's a damn sight cheaper...and your car can because of it's knock sensor- will sort out any ignition advance problems and eventually re-learn. If the premium you're getting is that poor, try the regular.
