by the way, living in an area which has the occasional hurricane and mandatory evacuations, sometimes the availability of specific fuels is not an option..
Exactly....there are a number of places where you just can't get the good octane. Lots of threads about the fuel debate - most seem to acknowledge that you aren't going to hurt the car with regular, but the premium will make it purr of so much better!
