You can call it bullshit all you want if I have bruised your Toyopet pride, but everything I typed is 100% factual. I have owned dozens upon dozens of vehicles for both business and personal use, and that 4-Skin was one of the worst, hands down. I don't drink anyone's Kool Aid. Junk is junk.

I hope Zelden can eliminate the "boutique fuel" bullshit mandated by various states and counties. Other than adjusting RVP/wax point for temperature regionally, all fuel should be one standard nationwide.
