      I remember when it was .88 cents a gallons! It wouldn't take $10 to fill the tank in my MX3! Those were the days... I also had to walk 5 miles every day to school, in the snow, up hill, both ways...

      because people can use whatever they choose to. i like it, weather it does any good or not, it is my choice and my preference. what does it matter to you? im not telling anyone to use it because i know it doesnt do any damn good, but i use it because i can.

      It's because there is this mentality, maybe you don't have it, that premium gas "makes more power". The only time it does, is in engines that need it.
      I leased Pontiac Wave from September 2006 to August 2011.

      no I am fully aware that it deosn't make more power in a car like this. some say it burns cleaner, or that being a higher grade means its more clean period, etc. etc.
      I just use it for the hell of it. It's my way of pretending I "pamper" my car after driving the crap out of her every day.

      I'm merely pretending to make up for not driving my granny car like, well, like a granny car.
