Because different types of gas behave differently at different temperatures. "Summer" gas has been modified to reduce voliatiles that evaporate at normal summer temperatures and cause air pollution. Summer gas isn't as good at starting in cold weather, so we don't use it in the winter. We could probably get away with in in Shreveport, but a lo oft (if not most of) the rest of the country would notice.
I did not know that.. learn somethin' new every day. So o.k. answer this one, Car wouldn't start, replace battery, car starts fine, but now wants to STALL constantly. Never had that problem before.. any suggestions ?
