Hey does anybody know what day they are rolling out the summer gas this year? I remember woundup knew the day a few years back.

No, there's a different gas formulation that we get for winter vs summer. The winter gas supposedly makes it easier to start cars in the cold, but gets worst gas mileage than the summer gas.

I don't know about WA, but down here they stick to E10 [10% ethanol] all year now ~_~

My STI swapped WRX sure misses the non E10 crap. It rolled out right after I finished the JDM STI motor swap
