A lot of people don't use regular. In fact, peachy's car requires a higher octane than regular 87. [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]

Meh, so much scare tactics. Atlanta has 10 days of fuel reserves on hand right now. They've been working off them for 2 days, which would mean there are 8 days left. Also, I remember hearing that we'd be getting more by next Tuesday, which means it shouldn't be an issue as far as need.

Of course, my smart self filled up Sunday, and still has 80% of a tank. [img]/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img] Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll be going down to Auburn for the game any more [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Apparently a lot of people are reading OOT.

The lines at the gas stations outside my work are getting long.

People are retarded.

Guess I'll be working from home til they get this [censored] sorted out.

CNBC showed the gas prices shoot up this morning. The damage seemed to be limited as the day went on. The gas prices should only rise about 10-15 cents short term. This $3+/gallon is a 1/2 day thing

Line your truck bed with a tarp, empty the gas pump, watch people cringe in horror, then charge them $4.50/gallon from your front yard. They have to siphon it themselves.

Well, I'm no gear head, but won't the knock sensors back off the compression? Or is there a degradation in mileage to take into account?

Today is not my day.

Sorry.

Here's a bunny with a doughnut on its head in pennance:

Well I'm not a gearhead either (though you seem to know more lingo than I do, so I think I'm setting myself up to get n00bed here [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]), but I'm under the impression that her car will RUN 87, but is just not meant to.

it will run but what ive been told by my mechanic is that i should not b/c of the car as it is stock (better for the parts/engine/etc) but he told me definately not to because of exshaust alterations (no clue why this matters) and the fact that its super charged

he told me if i switched that i needed to for good or for a long time because he said switching back and forth would hurt it alot
