Putting cheap gas (like ARCO) in your tank?

    I was at Kragen's buying a fuel filter & spark plugs (don't
know if I need a fuel injector too, for $109 for a 1988 300ZX), and I
asked the cashier how often I need to change the fuel filter.

He said it depends.  Whatever you do, don't put cheap gas in your car.
ARCO will gum up your car.  I said even if you have a gutless 4
cylinder car?  He said yeah.

I told him I got 4 years out of it before it started hesitating.
Putting that special stuff in my gas tank to clear out the injectors
didn't do a thing for it.

So how critical is putting cheap gas in your tank?  Is that a big deal
at all?

My GM cars do not like Arco. Likes Texaco and Chevron. Gets better mileage
too. My neighbor uses Arco in his jap car with no problems.
