98 GS300 rough start

Thanks for the tip to try Techron.

I just realized as well, that last time I filled up (just 3 days ago)
was at a gas station in a small town on the outskirts, the gas was
"CENEX". I used premium, but perhaps the gas was not so good...

Aside from the CENEX I always buy Chevron at a local station.

Thanks again,

-Fritz

As long as you buy gasoline from a busy station that turns over its
inventory in a rapid fashion, you should be fine. Don't buy gas from a
quiet station. The gas might sit around awhile.
