Yep. Some (soon to be ex-) employee has got some 'splaining to do. |

Savor the limelight
| I’d have to pick diesel.  But then I’d have gone back with the boat to fill up on the E-free 90, then with the 5th wheel as well. I did fill up my wife’s car at BJ’s today with 93 for $3.229. It was only .$30 more than 87 and I’m fairly sure the turbos and computer can make use of it. Most places around here have a $.70 jump between 87 and 93. |

| Gas in the adjacent county is $2.89 but ten miles away, here at home it’s $3.60. I have a 4Runner that I’ve switched to non-ethanol gas a for three tanks while traveling out of state. The gas mileage did not improve. I have also run a few tanks of E85 in the flex fuel work truck. The reduced gas mileage of E85 made it more costly to use but I noticed no other difference.

| I’d have walked in and told them the diesel pump was malfunctioning.

Alea iacta est
| I’d have to go with the 93. Turbo 4 banger with super high compression. That said 90% of people don’t have a fucking clue as to what octane ratings mean. No idea of what detonation is, don’t know what a knock sensor is, and no idea the effects of retarding timing to prevent knocks from early detonation and the effects of cylinders firing before TDC. If they had 93 with no alcohol, I would have been on that like an Ethiopian on a Big Mac.

| If I had a Corolla yes I'd go with the 90 Eth free. I paid $3.59 for 93 with eth. earlier today. Turbo's love corn.

If you have a turbo your preference should always be fuel with ethanol.
