  1. I always have a Problem with this ONE PRICE FIT ALL on GAS. Some vehicles call for HIGH OCTAIN FUEL ONLY. Here in BIM i do believe WE get the LOW END REGULAR UNLEADED which give the automobile POOR PERFORMANCE and might even cause DAMAGE.
    3 stages of GAS
    REGULAR
    HIGH TEST
    SUPER
