    I just read all the posts and now my brain hurts but I feel oddly at home.

    I was going to post something useful that related to the topic. Something like, "I use mid grade. I used to use regular but I heard some bogging and knocking going up some hills. Went away once I switched to better gas. I need LT so I can get 35's so I can get new gears."

    Instead I'll use this: I use 63 octane. It's not so good on the engine but I care way more about saving a few bucks now for that cheesecake and heroin that I'm always itching for. Plus, the sasquatch that fills me up is really nice and gives me free peeps every time i buy a full tank. Oh, and I use custom NOs blinker fluid. Adds 14hp per turn.

    Here at the 4500-6500 foot elevation regular gas is 85 and not 87. This is because the lack of oxygen already slows down the burn like higher octane does anyway. You would think that gas should be cheaper here but no it's a racket.

    I used to use 145 octane, it boosts my power up to 1000 horses, but then i ran out of cash and some body gave me a donkey, so i hooked him up to the truck, and now i got my power up to 1 donkey, he goes faster when i hold a carrot in front of him, so thats my latest mod, the carrot mod.:D

    Cheap 87oct gas, It's pointless to run the expensive stuff unless you have an engine designed for it.
