I have seen that site.  No listings for California.

Subject: [Spridgets] Crap California Gas

I went for a ride on my harley the other day.  It would barely run without
the
fuel enrichener (choke?) pulled out.  It would die at idle and it would fart
small backfires on accelleration.  In the past I had always filled it with
Chevron 91 octane with no storage problems.  The last time I filled it up
was
with Union 76 91 octane and it sat in the garage for 6 weeks due to the
month
long rains of December and cold weather of January.  My working 7 days a
week
also contributed.  Never had this problem with Chevron in the Harley or the
Bugeye sitting for long periods, but that 76 gas is crap.  In fact, most of
the gas here in California is crap.  On a side note, I found a gas station
in
Riverside, California that has 100 octane no-lead gas at the pump.
Something
like almost 8 bucks a gallon, but it might be a hoot to try it out and it
just
might cure my Harley's problem!
