Yes you do. So are you selling ? Shopping for something else ?

Read my previous response regarding truck owners. I have two elderly employees who comment about fuel prices almost daily. They both have newish Chevy pickups. Neither of them use them other than for a commuter vehicle, both complain about the mileage. I brought up my Rover and they both asked if it used premium.

I'm more curious than anything. If I hadn't seen new cars at Acura yesterday it wouldn't have crossed my mind.

Plus if I get in the mood I want to be able to put my foot into it although since I got pulled over a few weeks ago I have been behaving. I run non ethanol hi- octane in my S and that is even higher than the regular high octane so hopefully gas prices will come down in the spring but I'm not going to hold my breath.

I always ran the cheapest lowest octane in my toyota trucks never had an issue.

Tell your congress person to open up the now defunct Keystone Pipeline, Canadians need to send more oil south.

Interesting video about Chrysler's jet cars. I was totally unaware of this. Thanks, @paS2K for sharing it with me!

I read an article somewhere about this. Jay Leno was able to purchase one and did a restoration on it.
