The worst part is that they'll raise the price of gas to cover this new expenseConfused

Man, that BP keeps screwing up... first dumping oil in the gulf, now producing bad gas.  Gonna cost em some more money, but like Larry said, they'll just pass the costs on to the consumers.   Angry

Larry,

Thank you for posting this.  It is a good warning to anyone, but that would have been my last guess is to why my car was not running right.   And you are correct, BP will just raise the price to pay for it so that they can keep the big bonus for the management!!!!!!  dem Censoreddogs   
 
Waaaaaay back in 1978, when we were first living in Salt Lake City, we bought our first new car...a 1977 Cordoba (no not with the rich Corithian leather) with a 360, 4 barrel.  The very first time we drove to Las Vegas we got some bad gas and the car was pinging like crazy!!!!  I almost didn't make it out of the Virgin River Gorge.
