Well, I guess I got my first batch of winter formulated gas last night. I filled up at the Exxon in Ennis right beside WataBurger. This afternoon after work I floored it to get onto I-45 and what did I hear??? pinging from hell!!!:hammer:
I hate reformulated gas!!:nono:

I've heard many a story of people putting gasoline in diesel trucks, but never vice versa. That's gotta suck!

If my memory serves me right...and it usually does, the pump nozzles are different to avoid this kinda thing. However, we have no control if the truck driver fills the in-ground containers with the incorrect fuel!

Correct. Diesel nozzles are substantially bigger, along with having a green pump handle, in most cases.
