[stuff about Exxon]
>Their gas is obviously watered down or way below the stated octane level.

You know, I have had this experience at three Exxon stations - one 
northwest and one northeast of Baltimore, and one in Boca Raton, FL.  At 
all three instances, I experienced the same problem you described, and 
also thought the fuel had to contain a goodly amount of water.

I don't know how DC works (oxymoron, I know) but MD has a gas octane 
board.  I called them and mentioned my Exxon complaint.  They checked 
their test records of the two stations in question and, according to 
their tests which they said they did within the past 30 days of my call, 
the octane rating was up to state snuff.

Something else is going on with Exxon's fuel, and it is now my policy to 
simply stay away from it.
