Just another "sink NJ" thread.

Waiting in line for ten minutes for gas is annoying enough. NJ state law requires all fossil fuel outposts to be full service. The reason for this is to keep a percentage of their mentally challenged citizens "gainfully" employed.

So I finally get to the pump in my recently purchased vehicle. I say "Fill it up with Premium" Not only did I specifically ask for premium, the damn gas cap and fuel door say in big bold letters PREMIUM ONLY. Well, the brainfart on two legs starts the pump and walks off. I look over at the price and gallon ticker and wonder why it is so cheap. Genius boy is filling my tank with 83 octane. I had to jump out and stop the pump myself, not before 4 gallons of liquid shit made it's way into my tank. I walk over to the pump he's at and tell him I asked for premium and he was filling it with regular. Stated my car can't take that shit. "Oh, so you wanted it filled up premium?" "That's the general idea..."

Yeah, maybe I'm overreacting a little. But I didn't think pumping gas required that much occupational awareness. An autistic chimp could do the job.

So because of state law, he probably did some very very minor damage on my engine. User manual states: Regular may be used in dire situations only.



NJ sucks.

He did that to your WRX?

I would have jumped out and beat the living shit out of him.

And yes, NJ = sucks.

You should be angry. Some cars won't start up if you put low octane fuel in them.

Makes me scared for when I get my WRX.

But on the upside, it's not going to do any kind of damage to your engine. Basically it'll just bog down your performance till it gets rid of all the regular gas.

I once worked at a gas station for the summer pumping gas.

It's what it is...I can see why most people think people are stupid that work the jobs.

I ain't stupid, I just worked the job because I needed something for the summer. I met some very cool customers from working there though. What made the job pretty good was that it was my friend's pop's gas station so me and my friend worked together.

I'll always remember when Peter Sykora formerly of the New Jersey Devils pulled in there with his 1996 Ferrari F355. I had no idea it was him so I was asking him about the car, shooting the shit, that kind of crap. So at one point I go to him, "How is your weekend going?" with this big grin on my face. He didn't really say anything so I was like whatever. So he pays and I walk away, this woman comes running over to him and I see him signing something. He pulls out, then I go to her, "Uh who was that?" She goes, "Peter Sykora of the Devils."

Not to bad right?

Wrong.

It turns out when I asked him how his weekend was going, the day I asked him happened to be the day after the NJ Devils lost Game 7 of the 2001 Stanley Cup Finals to the Colorado Avalanche...to make it even better, I was wearing a Pittsburgh Penguins hat and the Devils beat them in the Eastern Conference Finals to get to the Stanley Cup. So one could only imagine what was going through his head.

LOL, that didn't hurt anything... it'll just burn quicker and run like shit until you get that out of your car. Don't worry about it so much. I know it's new and I go crazy for my car as well, but if it's really making you paranoid grab a fuel injector cleaner and push it through your next fill up. You're car is completely fine though
