Message	Im currently out of town right now and wont be back home till late august. I just had to replace a injector (240$ total) due to failure and I beleive it to be the ethonal (my car has 30k miles on it)... Really dissapointed about them starting to fail ALREADY but age shows its true colors. I do plan to upgrade the injectors to new style in the future but I don't have the money to do that right now and Harry is in Sarasota, so I don't have a mechanic I really trust, so on and so forth... What can I do to help prevent ethonal from killing my injectors for another 2-3 months? Ive called basically every different gas station around and they have all finally swapped to having 10% ethonal...
