You're making it sound like I'm trying to accuse Shell of purposefully contaminating the fuel and breaking my car but I'm not, I know that it's probably an accidental leak. But at the same time we all know that fuel sold in America is not even near the quality of fuel sold in other countries, and that fuel of the same octane can be very different depending on the station you go to. I'm not some wacky conspiracy theorist but the ambiguity of what's actually in the pump leaves room for question.

A fuel pump swap is $1,500 all on it's own! At least that is the price quoted to people that wanted to get one done when out of warranty and the new pump came out.
