Smiles per gallon are always worth it, even spending $15 dollars more a fill. If we get killed on carbon taxes again I may cry.


Ran 91 for a bit, Then switched to 94 and noticed the motor felt smoother through revs. I haven't switched back to 91 in a while. I should do it again to make sure I didn't placebo my self.
I looked at it as yes I spend more per gallon but my mileage more than makes up the difference. Had this debate with the wife every time she complained that I have to pay for premium. Back then she had an SUV that got an average 23 MPG against my 34. Who is paying more in the long run?
