Bad gas from the Chevron could probably be fixed with adding Heet to the tank. There may have been water in the tank. Not enough to cause any major problems, but if you add heet to your gas tank it will absorb the water and maybe the cart will run better.

With all the rain there is a chance that water got into their underground tanks and they maybe keeping a small inventory on hand due to lack of sales. Water in underground gas tanks is very common regardless the age of the tanks. Usually you willfind that any station will have 2 or 3 inches of water in the bottom of their tanks (which equals about 100 to 200 gallons) The tanks usually hold 8k to 10k gallons of gas and if the tanks are kept full on a regular basis you will not have problems with the water, however if the tanks get low and remain low there is a chance of water mixing with the gas at the dispenser.

I worked for Shell Oil for many years and this was a problem we fought with quite often.
