Low Octane Gas? Bad Smell.

RE: Low Octane Gas? Bad Smell.
No. It's not the grade of gas but the formulation that causes the stink. Some gas has a high concentration of particular chemicals that react in the catalytic converter and cause a sulphur buildup at highway cruising speeds that smells like rotten eggs during acceleration.
Change to a different brand of gas. It may help, it may not. Keep changing brands until, hopefully, it quits stinking.

i also have encountered such cars.
i know that nothing is wrong with the engine.
out of curiousity, i've tried to lean or enrich the mixture, but it still smells.
next time i will advise them to fill on different brand.
