Dukehotty, spray a little carb cleaner down your carbs while at idle....works for me. Better weather coming soon!

That's....^....correct, octane level won't correct the corn crud they add to our gas for better emissions. They've just created an excuse for our food prices to sky rocket....haven't you noticed?

I heard it could be gummed up carbs from sitting or water in the bowls? Either way, I just took it into the shop. Now I am wondering if it was something really easy I could have done...

Maybe, but not by virtue of the octane level.

Shell/Chevron Premium Always

There's an indie gas station in town that sells 0% eth for 30 cents more expensive. Might as well switch to that.

I've never understood why people bitch about gas prices. Even a $1 price increase means you're paying about $15 more every two weeks.

If kiddies can't afford that then may be they should sell the car. lol.

I've never understood why people buy green cars.

Alright, I drive 150 miles a week, with a 30 mile round trip commute. Even if someone drives twice what I do, it's $15 more per week. Cut fast food lunch out a few times and you're there..
