    You bring up another good point - half the shit posted on TW is probably covered with a search, and if only 90% is believable, your link fits that assumption as well as the OP's - that's my agenda -

    I thought we'd established all this already in the gazillion other threads. Is this the one to question the others?

    87 in my 15. I can't tell the difference. I get a mile per gallon better with 87.

    Hey, are bigger tires and heavier rims going to affect my mileage? Will my fuel injectors rub?

    That's what I'm saying. Little known secret, if you put diesel in the 4.0 it turns itself into a D4D.
