Musings on Gas & Guns
When you buy premium gas at a gas station, it's probably a good bet that the hose is filled with regular gas. So how much low-octane gas are you getting at premium prices?

COMMENT MODERATION IS IN EFFECT UFN. This means that if you are an insulting dick, nobody will ever see it.
IDK, there's a decent chance the idiot before you used mid-grade, a money spinner for the station owner. Both my cars take regular, so I get a bonus that way. For those of you that don't understand why mid-grade is a bad idea, most cars sold in the US work on regular gas (87 octane here), and a small percentage require (a larger percentage recommend) premium (93 octane here).
ReplyDeleteNow gas stations have two tanks, one for regular and one for premium. To get mid-grade fuel, they mix 2 parts of regular with 1 part of premium...and charge half the difference between the two. So they use 1/3 more expensive fuel but charge like it's 1/2 premium fuel, cha-ching.
President Obama will be going door to door on November 8, while people are standing in long lines to vote, and confiscate those voters guns. I know it's true, since I read it on Facebook! So yes, those guns on the wall will probably be gone, bought to replace the ones President Obama personally took....
ReplyDeleteCP88, you don't get any bonus. "Premium" only grants a higher detonation threshold; it is neither cleaner nor higher quality than regular. You will get fractionally less mileage because of the lower BTU/ gallon.
ReplyDeleteI used to fill from each pump at Costco (only 87 and 92) because my 2001 pickup pinged hellaciously on regular.
Marc, thank you for the high emotion/ low information content. You have that in common with Kaep and the wingnuts who nominated Drumpf.
3383, Marc was being sarcastic.
ReplyDeleteI know, Comrade; but it comes across as if he thinks anyone really believes that.
ReplyDeleteApologies for messing in your sandbox.
