Okay so I was running late for work today and I pulled into a husky station that was FULL SERVE only. I never use full serve and was unaware that this station had it as I had never been there before.
I no sooner open my door to get out and some clown asks me how much, Convo went as follows:
Me: Thats okay bud I got it.
Tool: No I have it, dont worry brother.
Me: No, I would rather pump my own fuel thanks:
Tool: Unfortunatly I cannot let you do that, its our policy to always help the customer and pump their gas.
Me: Fuck the policy, I'm in a hurry, no need to help me out, I would rather pump my own gas anyways.
Tool: I'm sorry about this but I am required to pump your gas.
Me: Fine, 20 bucks premium please.
I get back in my car and start screwing around with my camera to get a picture of this bozo. He comes back:
Tool: here is your reciept sir, did you want me to check your oil and washer fluid. No thanks, its all good, I gotta run.
I take off.
Not 5 minutes later the car starts sputtering and idling like ass.
I pull up to a stop light and it dies on me.
Me: okay What the FUCK!!!
I try starting my car, it starts for about 5 seconds of broken idle and then dies again.
I start it up again and it maintained an idle, although very coarse. Almost as if I had water in my distributer or something, but its clean and dry.
Light is green, I go.
I look at my gas reciept, the tool put REGULAR in my car. Okay so I'm not impressed.
I was late as it was so I couldn't go back to the service station and raise hell post haste. I limped into work, and now here I am pissed cause my car basically wont start. Not only did I get regular but I think it was a bad batch. I've never had this happen to this severity before as the aftermarket ECU in my car can generally compensate for a bad batch of premium to about 89-90 octane.
Anyone else have this happen to them, I have always been an Anti Full Serve Advocate as it is. Now I will never go to one.
