    What's the compression ratio of your engine?  That'll tell you what to pump.

    Related question---how do rental car companies make sure you are using the right gas?  Like SilverCar, all turbo Audi's but we're all just putting 87 octane in there.  How do they correct for that?  I've gotten some free upgrades in the past and ended up in some premium SUV or sedan and I know for a fact it requires 89 or 93.  But it's a fucking rental, so I just put in 87.  That can't be good to have those different octanes mixing around in there, is it?  

    probably doesn't do anything but lose some time at the drag strip and maybe make emissions worse.  at first as the ECU re-learns what timing it can use it'll get worse mileage.  but then the ECU figures things out.  mileage may still be worse but it might be within the error bars.  *shrug*

    I don't think Gen X has ever been called a spoiled or coddled generation. We were called the latch key generation for a reason.

     

    i remember when latch key kids were the ruining of america back in the '88 or '92 presidential election.

    What do you have against some of us enjoying alcohol at a college football game?  

     

    like lack of sales in-stadium has ever stopped anyone

     

    edit: apparently rice has been selling beer and wine since 2008 (who knew?)

    Rice introduced in-stadium sales of beer and wine in 2008 at Rice Stadium
