Oh come on dshiz! Like you were any better behaved when you first came here

I have to admit though, pretty weak comeback. You've lost your speaking privileges.

someone's getting all up in a huff! *chuckles to self then shakes head*

something you need to realize... if ny didnt tell you to search, someone else would have (Mugatu maybe? seems like he's slacked off recently though). It has been discussed before. If you dont wanna use google, the site has a search function as well which will (in theory) lead you to all the helpful info that this site has.

We didnt say use google. We said use the "Search" function at the top of the page. Obviously you are to lazy to search and made a thread, then when someone said search you got mad and made silly 3rd grade comebacks.

this is correct, eh?

I said Google alright, cuz its true, How hard is it to google something like *Octane* ? I just checked and theres like over 100000000 sites about the word *Octane*, many of them are bull, but the first one came back from Google already got the info that you need.

So, are you dumb or what ?

We all help each other, but we're not babysitters.

I just hate 3rd graders these days ..... They are dumb, but when someone try to correct them, they start being a jackass

94 is also a waste of money. The requirement is 91. More doesn't do anything for you. I use 93, which is also overkill, but where I live gas comes in 87, 89 and 93 and I'm not **** enough to fill 50/50 with 89 and 93.

Octane boosters are kind of an anachronism. They came out in the 70s, when the conversion to no-lead gas cut off higher grades at the pump, and there were still a lot of high compression 60s performance cars out there. These days the only cars that need booster are pretty much classic muscle cars, or cars that have been hot-rodded with high compression engines.

Fill with 91, and put the extra money into a bell-ringer's kettle.

91 for me. (California gas already sucks, I'd be afraid to put 87)

Tim: who are you talking to? I find it's usually easier if you quote the person then reply so as to not confuse every one.
Just tryin' to help.

Again, I don't use it as I think it's a waste if you're already running the suggested Premium Fuel.

If you know what Octane is, this post wouldnt even exist.

So lets go back to Square 1. Google.Com is your friend. or common *search* sense is your friend.

People also don't have to not reply if they're not helping. It's an open forum. Sometimes people reply to help answer a question, sometimes because they think of an interesting/humorous/educational/sociopathic quip in response to a post.

If you get useful answers - which I think you did - you came up roses. If there was entertainment value in the non-answer posts, you've gotten a bonus. If you were insulted, think how much it would have cost you to hire Don Rickles for an evening - and you got it for free!

Enjoy the forum. And Merry Christmas.

Ken
