Yes but the problems start and worsen from these guys wanting to excessively heat these carbs in the first place, running the engines hotter than they really need to be and various other factors and then wonder why heat soak is so bad and why their fuel is boiling away. Instead they want to blame the fuel.

I'm running the same crap fuel, actually considered worse out west here than many other states, yet it's working fine for me on the Vega, the firebird, the Camaro and chevelle. I don't have extra pusher pumps on any of them. Bowls aren't drying up and even after sitting for 4-5 days and even a couple weeks in some cases I don't have to excessively crank the car to start it. The nomad will sit a month at a time and it still cranks and starts within 5-8 seconds and I don't even use the choke. I find that perfectly acceptable and no different than when these cars were new.
