I drove my GT/CS in the cool rain today, and ran the heater-defroster at full hot and #3 blower speed for the first time.

After the engine reached normal temperature, I got the Sweet Smell of Oil and New Plastic Getting Hot coming through. Maybe it will subside after a while. It's not all that offensive; reminds me of the days when Castrol "R" was parfum du jour at the races ...

Today as I was at the BP down the street to fill up my car, and after I had already used my credit card I see a small piece of tattered paper loosely taped on the octane rating for my pump. The paper is indecipherable, but glancing at another pump I see that the number 92 has been placed over what had for so long been a 93. I stopped the pump at under a gallon and drove to the Exxon a few blocks from there to find the precious 93 waiting for me (and at a few cents less too)

This raises the question, was there a possibility that my previous fill up was 92 octane gasoline? I know for a fact the pump had said 93, but it WAS a BP, so it is plausible to think the pump was incorrectly marked. But I heard no knocking throughout the duration of the tank. Would that cause the impleasant odor I've been experiencing?

And maybe it was a placebo effect, but with the 93 torque tune it felt to me as if the car was performing better after filling up at the Exxon station.

i do think the qualitys of fuel are not equal, and even the same stations get better batches. ive seen it in my mpg which i spent alot of time on. suppose to warm up sat so i`ll get my jlt on and tuned. i hope its not the same problem, but i havent seen anyone else on here with it. to tell the truth, that mighty 4 barrel nailin it smell, was saturday night cruizin on telegraph rd., looking for a victim on cool summer nights growing up. hot cars everywhere. i kinda miss it
