Current San Diego avg for gas is 2.89 for 87....91 octane is 3.09. Now...multiply the difference of 20 cents by 16....$3.20...everytime you fill up. I'm sorry but in MY world, I'll pay $3.20 for the increased performance and safe fuel stability with the increased timing. Think about that for a second. 16 gallons...say you have a heavy foot and get only 18mpg on avg. That nets you. 288 miles to a tank. you drive approx 60 miles per day. Thats almost 5 days worth of driving....That is LITERALLY SIXTY (64) FOUR CENTS PER DAY to in some cases 10 more rwhp....Buy one less soda. One less beer. One less pack of smokes a month...How much do you REALLY love you cars?I'll never understand it.</blockquote>
