really what it comes down to is if you want a nice sports car then you shouldnt put gas that will harm the engine in it
and if you can't afford the gas then dont buy the car and if you want the car but dont want to pas for the gas then quit complaining and get out cause there nothing we can do to change that also if you have a premium fuel hungry car already then the ft86 will most likely get better MPG than it yes people get to the same place as you on less gas but look at their car. its pay to play with cars

Seriously???? ![]() How much do you drive a year? If you can't afford money for gas, I will say you can't afford this car. How can you afford your MB by the way? |

And if you drive a lot, and you are pinching pennies, and money is tight, THEN WHY ARE YOU BUYING A -BRAND- NEW CAR?

And it is my business when you start posting in a public forum that you can't afford the gas but you can somehow afford a brand new car. Go buy a used car, or what a few years for this car's price to drop and buy it used when it's cheaper, then use the money you saved on the gas. Either way, it sounds like your dilemma is you can only afford only one of the two: Expensive Gas, or Brand New Car. Personally, I'd worry more about the money you'll lose in depreciation on a new car the second you drive off the lot than you will lose in gas money.

Wait did my post actually get deleted...
-_- Part load operation doesn't need highest octane, but especially when you don't have a variable duration engine (like BMW) it's hard to say how much torque you can safely use on lower octane. |
