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

Stantonsburg property rezoned, annexed for 500 homes

The Greenville City Council on Thursday rezoned and annexed nearly 196 acres of property along Stantonsburg Road west of town despite concerns neighboring residents had about flooding and the impact on their properties. The project developer, Walton North Carolina LLC, requested the property be rezoned from rural residential under Pitt County jurisdiction to residential agricultural under city jurisdiction for the construction of about 500 homes. After debate, the council unanimously approved the rezoning request for the property, located along along the southern right-of-way of Stantonsburg Road about 200 feet west of Ellwood Drive; it then approved the annexation. In other business, the council also rezoned a .16 acre storefront property on the southern right-of-way Dickinson Avenue, about 60 feet southwest of Ficklen Street, from downtown commercial fringe to downtown commercial. It annexed 5 acres located along the southern right-of-way of Dickinson Avenue about 400 feet west of Frog Level Road. The property is owned by Greenville Utilities Commission, which plans to locate a water tower on the property. It also approved a municipal agreement with the N.C. Department of Transportation for a citywide traffic signal upgrade. The project, which is expected to begin in 2028, will cost nearly $15.5 million.

AG looks into complaints that Triangle gas stations aren't sharing tax break

Gas stations in the Triangle are among those the state Department of Justice is looking into, following consumer complaints that the stations aren’t passing along the state tax break on fuel. The attorney general’s office had sent 42 letters of inquiry to gas stations that may not be passing along savings from the gas tax pause, as of Nov. 6 . One Durham County retailer has received a letter, along with gas stations in 29 other counties. The letter does not indicate that a gas station has violated the law. It only asks the station to explain its pricing practices. In addition, the Department of Justice has sent nine referrals to the Department of Agriculture, after receiving complaints about differences between advertised fuel prices and the actual price at the pump. ( Inspectors with the Department of Agriculture visit retailers across the state to ensure that advertised prices match prices that ring up at the register.) One referral was based on a complaint about a Wake County gas station. The other referrals concerned gas stations in six counties. Catch up on N.C. Fuel Check As of Oct. 30, the state Department of Justice had sent escalation letters to 31 gas

Stein awards Order of the Long Leaf Pine to boat builder

Gov. Josh Stein visited the area on Tuesday to honor a local entrepreneur who has been recognized for both his business acumen and his philanthropy. Eddie Smith, the owner of Grady-White Boats, was recognized during a ceremony at the company’s Greenville plant, where he received the Order of the Long Leaf Pine. “One of the benefits of being governor is that I get to recognize some of the very best people in North Carolina,” Stein said before a crowd of about 125 employees and guests. “Eddie Smith was responsible for taking a struggling business and turning it into what we see here today. Grady-White is part of what has made North Carolina the best state in the Southeast for manufacturing.” But Stein added that it isn’t just Smith’s commercial savvy that earned him the award. “What’s remarkable about Eddie is not just how he built this company, but how he decided to leave it,” Stein said. In July, Smith announced plans to place the company into a perpetual purpose trust, which protects it from takeover by outside buyers and supports the interests of the company’s 336 employees. Smith was understated in his remarks. He credited employees with doing the hard
