I also have had ALOT of problems with Exxon stations (Lightfoot,
VA, Newport News, VA, Landover Hills, MD. Lots of other places
in between.) My car won't accelerate with anything less than
Exxon High Grade, and quite frankly, I'm not up to paying
that kind of money for Gas right now. (I also have a very
awful story of what one Exxon station did to my car for
inspection....)

I agree. I personally wouln't use their stuff to power a lawn
mower never-the-less my car. I ran with their gas for about a
year straight, and it cost me in repairs and other hassles.
I not only stay away from their gas, but I will drive my tank into
fumes to avoid it.
