Let me know if there is any way I can get involved) get help. I am not familiar with taking legal action at all but if they keep screwing people I am all in.

Jeez. Wth. They need to shut it down and the state agency told me yesterday that they would be checking it today at 10am-11am! I wish I had Facebook to share there but I don't, it's ridiculous though.

Not sure. However, anything should be looked into atp if it's causing so many people issue but the investigations are coming up with nothing.

Exactly. I understand the whole thing of being blown off because obviously there isn't a line of cars but something is wrong with it because I have gotten gas 100s of times and been fine. I also have pics from the mechanic showing how much of it was water so Ik it was a real issue and my car was fine all day before that, literally as soon as I turned out the gas station it started to shut down. So it was the gas, and like you pointed out this is just one of many incidents. Something is going on and they should not just be okay with it since it isn't everyone, it's still causing everyday ppl hundreds or more dollars of repairs.

No, the mechanic showed me the fuel and I watched them take it out and saw that it was pretty much all contaminated. They were very trustworthy and charged me appropriately. My car is a 2013 that has never had an issue and it's under 100k miles. It's been perfect other than that. I am from Florida and have been through many rainstorms, hurricanes and then the snow storms from here many times. I was also one of many incidents that has occurred at this same station throughout some months. Edit: They also did use dry gas for the last step just to get the whatever bad fuel was left over since I filled my whole tank with it. I do appreciate the tip though but I have never had this problem with my car and it's seen a lot of water.

I will definitely look into it, probably would help cover the hours of work I had to miss afterwards too since I was on break when it happened.

That's the reason I went there ngl. Always looking to save money, I would have never thought it would result in something that serious though. Never heard of bad gas before today

It's just called Gulf on google, the address is in the post as well.

I am wondering the same. How exactly is it done and why aren't they finding anything if the inspection is done within 24 hrs of the report? I am not sure as this is not a subject I know much about. I think he said something about filling the one of the state trucks or something but I could be wrong because that just seems like a bad idea.

Exactly, I was really freaked because even when I have had "issues" I could still drive my car. This completely took my car down within minutes.

I think the fact that I stopped trying to drive the car after 3 minutes saved it and me. I refused to mess with it, the way it started jerking and shaking was scary enough.

No, used a debit card unfortunately.

Exactly what I was told OTP by the Agency. That they had investigated other times but with no results. The owner also sorta laughed me off with the same excuse, said that it made no sense because then everyone would be on the side of the road. Idk how it works but there is no denying that it was 100% their fuel because my car was completely empty before I filled up and now is completely fine after getting the fuel out of it. It's frustrating and ridiculous that they can continue to screw people. The State Agency did say he would have someone out there tomorrow morning carrying out inspections but I won't hold my breath.

Tbh suing them for 400$ is not really worth it for me because of time and energy, I work FT, travel and I am a student. It happened and sucked but I know better now. I am gathering my evidence and using it to continue my report to the State Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets and the Gulf company. I'd rather see them investigated and having some type of consequences and stop this from happening to others. If it results in some type of refund then that would be great but I don't expect it to happen anytime soon.

I don't know much about cars, but the Mechanic was really helpful and showed and explained it was water. From the way they were saying it, I assume it was a large amount. The shop was amazing though and completely understanding with the situation and was willing to talk to anyone to help verify the issue.

Okay, cool. I get both of those even tho I have not seen too many cops here. In Florida many ppl would zoom past my house at like 12-3am and it was horrible so I like that I see so many ppl respecting it here.

Out of Towner, here for work and hopefully to stay one day. I have seen the others doing this...I can't imagine feeling so entitled and unaware. This is someone else's home and not everyone in VT is on Vacation. As someone from FL(which Ik sucks) I am also from a tourist attraction type place and have experienced the lack of respect from visitors. Kinda kills the Vibe of VT. I was staying in Middlebury which seemed very quiet and local and it was the beautiful/slow paced life I dreamt of compared to when I drove through Stowe lol. I also noticed local plates move slow/right at the speed limit, being from FL it has taken some time but I am trying to be respectful and do the same, but is this a normal thing here? Anyways I love the State and everyone (locals) have been great to be around and I hope ppl can be more respectful and realize this is not just some foliage playground.
