[T3] Rough running 71

[Keith Park]

Its not just the ethanol, each area of the country gets a different blend
these days and that changes with the time of year too.  One of the reasons
gas is so expensive

BTW, the lower prices are only good thru labor day, don't even wait till
Tuesday before you tank up everything you have as they are once again going
to gouge us right after the holiday is over.
