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

Charlotte's airport development plan is too car-centric, planners say

Charlotte's planning staff has asked Crosland Southeast to design a less car-centric version of the "Destination District," the airport's nearly 40-acre development near the future Silver Line stop that could include multiple drive-thrus. Why it matters: Again, Charlotte is facing crossroads decisions that guide whether the city becomes more urban — or continues operating as a place where you're expected to own a car. Charlotte City Council is hosting a public hearing on the city-owned airport's rezoning request Monday, Nov. 16, where the developer may address some of these concerns. However, airport officials have been clear that they only intend to make the district so walkable due to traffic and FAA rules. The latest: The Destination District, envisioned as an "employment hub," is currently planned to include a mix of stores, restaurants, offices, hotels, a parking garage, a gas station and green space. They're aiming to complete it by 2032. As it stands, the rezoning petition seeks permission to build up to six drive-thrus, with possible exceptions for more at the site, located between Wilkinson Boulevard and I-85. City staff argues this would not create the ideal pedestrian environment to support the multibillion-dollar Silver Line light rail coming through there,
