conundrum (sp)
for a vehicle that has 220 hp an runs on premium only, would their be alternatives to get the same octain and cleaning solutions into, lets say, mid grade or unleaded without the 3.05 a gallon cost
and if so, what would be the affects on the engine (wich is a v6 3.0 non turbo)
the goods and or the bads
if not, well, damn

Octane booster sucks, a whole bottle will only raise the total octane level of a tank of gas by about .5
And just think of it this way, at least you don't live in Seattle where gas is 3.65 for premium because its against state law (or some bs like that) to pump your own

Ya, I'll chime in here too and say if it specs premium, then you're better off sticking to it. Your gas mileage will be better too (because the engine is optimized for that octane grade).
((I'll add off topic that I didn't know that Washington does no self serve. I know Oregon doesn't allow you to pump your own gas...which is why it's only 10-20 cents cheaper than California.))

I once was driving through Oregon, and I didn't know about the law. I stopped at a gas station, and started to pump my own gas. The attendant came unglued and threatened me with a $700 fine if I didn't stop immediately. So I stopped, but I wasn't happy. He made me wait until he gassed everyone else before finally filling my tank. Now I have another reason to hate Oregon
