I have been getting my gas from a sketchy amoco on the wrong side of town lately (with my usual "gas is gas" mentality) and suddenly my car is terribly flooded with sulfer "rotten egg" smell. I can barely stand it, but aside from the smell itself, which makes me heave, should I go somewhere and have it drained so it doesn't otherwise harm my car?

This is a 95 854t with 120k mi.

Fill up your lawnmower, weed wacker, your neighbor's lawnmower and drive the rest of the tank until it is low. Get some good gas! One or two pennies a gallon is not worth the savings.

rotten egg smell can mean bad catalytic converter. Might just be time for it or there might have been something in the gas. Switch gas stations and hope it goes away. I don't really think draining fuel will help, just run this tank down as low as you feel comfortable before filling.

If just the gas it should clear in 2 or 3 tanks. If catalytic converter damaged it needs replacing.

If your tank is full and you suspect bad gas, why not syphon it off. I'm not sure how you would dispose of it responsibly though. On the other hand if your tank is half empty/full, purchase some premium high octane gas and top off the tank. You may just get through this with no problems. Bad gas can wreak havoc on any car, especially older models. Your ECM will do it's best in making any adjustments in the meantime. Good Luck.
