A little more expensive, due to extra oil used. Now, the $0.20/gal may be more realistic, but when it was $1.10 and $1.30, and much of that taxes, you could tell it was mostly profit on people buying better gas than they need.

You guys convinced me. I filled up with 91 octance and it IS only a couple of bucks more. I'll go through a tank of gas, refill and look for changes in response.
Also, AKG35X and JawJaw mentioned downshifting. Certainly worth trying the manumatic in stop n go. That makes sense too.
Thanks to all for your input.

The pic is so small its hard to see the grill to tell whether it is a Challenger or a Cuda. WTH, I'm calling it a Plumb Crazy Hemi-Cuda!
OK---- Mrbig says its a Challenger based on the full size pic. That was my first hunch too. My favorite muscle cars are the 70-71 Challenger and the 71 Cuda both with the shaker hoods!!
