The truth about gasoline grades

Come and live in England mate - I just did the calculation and we pay the equivalent of $6.73 per gallon over here.

If your fuel prices ever get high (and trust me, they are CHEAP at the moment), you'll realise that the difference in price between normal and higher grade fuel is very little, especially when you factor in the improved economy and performance that higher octane fuel gives you.

Why buy a sports car if you intend to penny-pinch over the fuel? - it's only a few cents difference.

ps - I'd never dream of using lower grade fuel in my car.
