I have been buying and will keep buying BP gasoline regardless. I had a 2005 Honda that I put Quiktrip or Racetrac gas in for a long time. It developed a secondary O2 sensor problem that kept tripping. I noticed that when I filled up with BP it didn’t do it as often. Turns out that I researched it and read that some wideband O2 sensors get damaged by high concentrations of ethanol. My conclusion was that R/T and Q/T were spiking their gas beyond the limits. Never again had the problem with BP nor expect to.

What kind of breakfast cereal were you eating during the period you correlated these results?

Because you probably have as much reason to blame that as the gas station.

How's this: I have 10 year old and 15 year old GM vehicles and have run only the cheapest gas in them for over a 1/4 million miles total, and have had no O2 sensor problems.

So I'm going to make the better correlation that it is 100% your particular 2005 Honda model that has a problem performing the simple function of turning cheap gas into reliable miles.

I will start doing the same, live in the country but not far enough not to find a BP staion here on the Gulf Coast.

All the blasting toward BP one must keep in mind, three other U.S. companies were involved in the drilling. PLUS! FEDERAL safty workers were on and working on the rig, spending upwards to 8, EIGHT, hours a day doing so. Being investigated for spending their 8 hours watching PORN! Are THEY also liable?
