Finally rolling in a Festiva... New guy from PNW.

ARRRghh... thats the weekend I'm rolling to Vancouver. *thinking how I can swing both*
I'll see what I can do. sounds cool.

I actually picked this up in your backyard... Smokey Point.

anyone else in SnoCo? I'm in Everett quite often.

I'm in Everett too. We'll have our own Festiva meet. Randy who lives in Fall City has 6 Festivas. Everett has 100% pure gasoline(no ethanol blends) at 2100 Broadway, a Gas & Smoke Shop at the northwest corner.... good price too. Get it. Our 3 cars' mpg increased 8%, 7-8% & 5%. Engines are smoother, quieter, & need less downshifting ascending hills.

Use 100% gasoline. Get rid of the ethanol.

Nice and clean car!! It's a shame they painted the bumpers and grille black though! I love the body color'd bumpers that came on GL's

Welcome fellow PNW'er I agree with the lack of gorgeous weather, its a crime!! That is very minty looking, I envy your rear wiper.

Hey, there is a station pumping 100% ethanol-free gasoline in Auburn, kinda close to Federal Way. Go to pure-gas.org for addresses, details & a great zoomable map to see if any of those stations are convenient for you. Since I switched to 100% pure gas, with accurate records, the Festiva's mpg increased 8% & our other 2 cars' mpg increased 7-8%, & 5%. Engines are all smoother, quieter & need less downshifting while ascending hills.

@DriverOne?

I tried your link to the photos; and couldn't get the password to work. Which I copied and pasted; so fail safe, seemingly.

I'm planning similar on my wheels, but instead of black, I'm going Argent.

Needs the rear wiper mod.

I'll check it out, thx for the info.



Thx for the welcome everyone.

Was looking at the Des Moines station. In Details it says the 100% gasoline is only for boats. You might be able to take five gallon gas cans & get them filled. You could transfer it to your car later at home? They seem to do what the whole state of Oregon does.

It sounds like a hassle, but 100% ethanol-free gasoline is worth it.

haha... that was the one I was going to hit next fill up. good to know.

be careful using marine gas, if it's a different color don't get pulled over because if the popo dip your tank and it comes up colored, you get a massive fine. Marine and Ag. gas are dyed blue and red I believe because there are no road taxes on them.

Sorry about that, Bobstad. I'll fix the link asap. I had forgotten that it was set to private.
