When you blew your engine, why wasn't it your fault?

I'm calling out to all these people who voted on the sticky polls at the top.

Concerning the shops listed, we all know that the vast majority (98%?) of engines blown would be the owners fault and not the builders (only concerning the builders in the polls remember)

That being said, you take a look at the poll results and everyone who blew one seems to think it was the builders fault.
So prove it.
If there's a builder out there making an inferior product then let us know, and don't just say, but explain why.

How did you figure out you were running low octane fuel? Did the gas station end up paying for your rebuild?

well when your not even going 3/4 throttle and your engine blows 5 minutes after you fill up with gas thats a good indicator. Even if I did prove it was the gas that caused the engine to go I don't think they would have paid for the engine.
