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

Famous for a 5-pound burrito, a Chapel Hill restaurant is closing after 30 years

After three decades, a fixture on Franklin Street will close its doors for good next month. The Mexican restaurant Bandido’s Mexican Cafe announced on Tuesday, Nov. 10 that it will close permanently next month, with its last service slated for Dec. 11. Owner Antoni Sustaita said soaring food and labor costs led to the restaurant’s closing after more than 30 years in business. “Two months ago, lettuce was $28 a case,” he said. “I just paid $100 a case recently. Tomatoes are $60 a case. Cheese was $45 now it’s $90. And we can’t raise prices to match; people won’t pay that much.” Sustaita and his family opened Bandido’s in 1994 as one of the few Mexican restaurants in Chapel Hill at the time. Now with a crowded market and rising costs, he said now was the time to close. “We had a good run, but I’m tired of the wrestle and tired of the fight,” Sustaita said. “I see the writing on the wall. I don’t see the economy getting much better, and it would have to get majorly better.” Bandido’s is perhaps most famous for its El Gigante Burrito, a 5-pound burrito that earns diners a free t-shirt

ESPN predicts winner of Georgia at North Carolina basketball

The North Carolina Tar Heels (3-0) host the Georgia Bulldogs (2-0) on Friday, Nov. 13 in a battle between the ACC and SEC. Both Georgia and North Carolina made the NCAA Tournament a season ago, but both teams failed to win a game in March Madness. The Georgia-North Carolina game will be the first true test of the season for both teams. The North Carolina game will be the first road game for Georgia. The Bulldogs have a veteran team, but the Dean E. Smith Center is not an easy place to play. UNC has not lost at home since March 8, 2025. The Tar Heels went undefeated at home last season. "It did not finish the way we wanted to finish, but our mantra in this program is growth every single day," Georgia basketball coach Mike White said after UGA beat Florida Gulf Coast 80-72 at home this week. "We have got to get better tomorrow, and we have got to learn from this, but I know we only won by eight. We got better tonight because we showed good glimpses." North Carolina has had a bit of an inconsistent start to the season with the Tar Heels having
