Drivers complained about fuel quality at 24 Triangle gas stations. What tests found

Consumers complained about fuel quality at two dozen gas Triangle stations recently, and state inspectors found issues at a handful of them. Between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, customers submitted complaints about 24 stations in Wake, Durham, Chatham and Johnston counties to the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. The Standards Division didn’t receive any complaints about Orange County stations during that time. Complaints were made about 20 Wake County stations, two in Johnston and one each in Durham and Chatham, according to records obtained by The News & Observer. In the complaints, drivers reported a variety of issues with their vehicles including: losing power, having difficulty starting; check engine lights turning on; and engines stalling. Some people reported taking their cars to mechanics, who said the cars were filled with contaminated fuel. Inspectors followed up on the complaints and discovered fuel quality problems at five stations, all in Wake County. Tests are conducted at stations and in the lab to ensure that fuel meets the advertised ethanol content, octane rating and other specifications. That way, consumers get what they’re paying for , and don’t inadvertently damage their vehicles with contaminated fuel. Here’s what the tests showed. Fuel

This Old-School North Carolina Model Train Shop Turns Just Looking Into An Entire Afternoon

Some shops are built for a quick in-and-out trip, and some are built for losing track of the clock. This one in Raleigh belongs firmly in the second group. The shelves run wall to wall with locomotives, rolling stock, track, scenery supplies, and vintage pieces that disappeared from most stores years ago. The staff will happily talk scales and transformers for as long as you have questions, and a resident cat may greet you at the door.

Consumer complaint leads to paused sales at Triangle gas stations. How to report

State inspectors found problems that could harm consumers at pumps at 15 gas stations across Wake, Durham and Johnston counties. Many inspections happened on routine visits, but inspectors also follow up on consumer complaints. If you spot an issue at the pump, here’s how to file a complaint with the North Carolina Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services’ Standards Division. Full story: Gas sales temporarily stopped at 15 Triangle stations. Here’s where and why File online: Go to ncagr.gov , navigate to the Standards Division webpage, scroll down and click the “Complaints & Requests” box to report problems. By phone or email: Call 984-236-4751 or email program manager Chad Parker at chad.parker@ncagr.gov to flag an issue. What inspectors look for: Problems like “abnormal performance” and “meter creep” — when the gas pump trigger is released but the meter keeps climbing — can get a pump tagged and taken out of service. In general, these inspectors check weighing and measuring devices for accuracy. Complaints drive inspections: Of the Triangle visits between Aug. 19 and Oct. 31, consumer complaints prompted inspections at 19 stations. Chad Parker, measurement manager with the Standards Division, said complaints tick up when gas prices rise. Where pumps

Why DEQ let a Raleigh real estate agent take over a troubled Wayne County hog farm

A Raleigh real estate agent with no hog farming experience bought a Wayne County farm infamous for a massive 2022 waste spill, and it has kept leaking sludge into public waterways. State regulators approved his permit to run the site without a background check and have little power beyond issuing fines, which the owner hasn’t paid. FULL STORY: Why DEQ trusted a Raleigh real estate agent with the site of a massive hog waste spill Here are key takeaways: Wallace Green, a Raleigh real estate agent operating as Biox Renewables — a one-person LLC with no website or office — bought the former White Oak Farms at auction in 2024 despite never having run such an operation. The N.C. Department of Environmental Quality does not perform background checks or require financial disclosures from applicants. Spokesperson Josh Kastrinsky said the only confirmation sought was that Green had a registered LLC. DEQ has fined Biox three times this year — $10,697 in May, $7,347 in August and $5,280 in September — but Green hasn’t paid any of them and insists he’s “in compliance.” He is also over a year behind on required reports.
