As someone else said above, our only buses are yellow. But the motorcycle does help in season.

My right foot has a mind of it's own, I'm thinking about putting a stopper under the pedal so I can't use more than a 1/4 throttle...

using regular

I have been using regular gas 87 octane for about 2 years now and my G35 sedan runs just fine. Why pay 20 cents more per gallon?

regular gas

No, I have not felt any power loss, of course I don't floor the accelerator either. Under "normal" acceleration it seems to run just fine.

Its all about when it ignites. If you drive like a grandma/grandpa you should be fine. If you go and get on it even for a few seconds regular has a chance of causing a ping. IMO thats not worth .20 a gallon unless your pputting it towards a new engine. Made the mistake of using mid one time and the car was stuck on the side of the road. Never again!
