Default Any Buddy Get That Great Gas In San Marcos or Austin?

First outting for Cobra and really enjoyed the back road cruise to the airport (for pics) and then up to Austin (The OASIS) for lunch with Sammy, John, David and Jay. Car ran exceptional even in the heat until we stopped for gas in Austin on our way back. Had to be Ethanol blended or something as shortly after getting gas the car started to slightly vapor lock and act very erractic during acceleration. After we returned from the cruise and the car was sitting for a short period and the fuel started to boil in the carb. Understand some others experienced the same conditions.....Keith talked to Quickfuel and they told him Ethanol blended fuel will do this in hot conditions.........so off I went today and bought some 107 octaine fuel to kill the Ethanol.......should be fun to drive this weekend!
