Hi Folks,
        Does anyone when the 94 PROMO LIT is due out to dealers? I read the
post about the R package cars being delayed, but are the regular 94s due out
any sooner?
        I remember reading a few things about differences in gasoline quality,
did anyone have any trouble with SHELL gas? I've started using their gas (I
was using mostly AMOCO in WI). The other week I was in the NC mountains and had
some trouble with hesitation and acceleration. I thought the problem was a
high altitude thing, but it continued when I got back to DC. The dealer folks
didn't feel any problems were present. I beginning to doubt the mechanics at
my trusty dealership because we were talking about maybe timing being the
problem and the tech said the timing could NOT be advanced because everything
is controlled electronically by the computer! So all of you who have advanced
you timing - you really didn't advance it! (yeah, right ;-) ) Anyway, has
anyone had any problems with bad gas from shell?
