Mix-up At Refinery Leaves Drivers Stranded

A little bit of crappy local news to report...

I unfortunately am one of the said drivers with a tank full of this Diesel/Unleaded mixture. I had my car towed this morning to a mechanic but because there are so many cars being towed in I probably won't see my car for awhile. Fortunately the refinery is flipping the bill for what I can only imagine 100's of vehicles that need repair because of this.


EDIT: Fixed the link, stupid KOB website and it's redirects.

OH MAN -- I can't describe how "upset" (substituted word choice) I'd be.  Sorry to hear that.

Yeah, I was pretty PO'd when I found out. But it was pretty random because yesterday I started my car and it was idling kind of funny. Then when I gave it gas a huge puff of white smoke came out and I thought WTF. So I called my mechanic and right away he said "Did you get gas yesterday?" to which I replied "Yes.". Then he told me what happend.
