OK it isn't the beans, but the news is saying that some of the gas in the Boston area makes the CEL light go on in Audi, WV, and Mercedes because it screws up the O2 sensor. One mechanic reported that he has seen the cat get so hot that it turns red and could cause a fire. Another said that he saw a car that would barely run. The universal fix is to drain the tank and put good gas in - that is if you haven't burnt it up or something worse.

There is a good chance your car will disappear if you stop in RI. Just take and extra 50 gallons of real gas for your trip and everything will be OK.

Not only do we have bad gass but the news said that Brittney is coming to Boston.

I'm going to get a "Rent-a-Wreck" so my Audi stays in one piece.
