Why you should check your gas....

And how much Ethanol.

Agreed.

I don't know the answer to this, but I wonder... Would too much
ethanol would make the gas smell or feel funny during the sampling?

Define "bad gas".

What happens when you live on pickled eggs and beer for more than a couple

Nope. Unlike the old (legal for airplanes) oxygenate, MTBE, the presence
of ethanol is not obvious by odor or appearance. You just have to mix the
fuel with some water and shake it up in order to test it (at least in
quantites used for oxygenated car gas). E-85, on the other hand, seems to
be detectable by smell. Although pure ethanol has no odor, E-85 has a
noticably weaker gasoline component to its odor.

To add to the list of jokes about my home state of NJ,.....
The news reported that over 30 cars were stranded on the side of the
road after they filled up at a Lukoil station and received "Bad
Gas".

Now some would think that turning your airplane into a glider in
midair might be better than being stranded in NJ but.....

This raised a few questions for me....Are there any extra safeguards
regarding the delivery and or testing of 100LL before you put the
nozzled in your tank? By draining the gas and looking in the GAT jar
assuming it looks correct, could you still be in risk of having bad
gas? How long would it take for that bad gas to reach the engine?

Larry Dighera submitted this idea :
Lukoil, Russia's largest oil company, entered the U.S. gasoline
market in 2000 when it acquired Getty Petroleum Marketing.

thats all we need is ruskies owning our gas :-?
