Lol... buys a high price car to worry about fuel price. How could he possibly be saving $10 a fill up. Regular to premium difference for a fill up is like 3 bucks at most

Yea, like really. Just make Spaghetti once, portion out a second helping for the next day. You just saved enough on your food bill to pay for premium and then some. |

Something important to remember is that our cars make 100hp/liter with very high compression. that is a huge difference to the corvettes 55hp/liter and 10:1 compression
