Trying to save $ on gsa for SVXes

[LarryIII]

I am trying to save a little money on gasoline by using half premium and half mid-grade when I fill up. The SVX runs on 91 octane gasoline. In my area (mid-atlantic states) premium is 93 octane. Mid-grade is 89 octane. Currently there is about a ten cents per gallon differential between the two grades.
My system is to fill up when the gas gage is at the halfway mark. I alternate the premium and mid-grade fill-ups. I keep a small pad & pencil in each SVX to record the grade of gas used at the fill-up, so I can keep trak on each SVX.
So far there have been no ill effects on any of our SVXes.

The next fill-up for all our SVXes will be premium.

I hear that Ripimoff Industries is working on a fuel pill to drastically increase fuel milage. It is a capsule of catalysts in a special holder that attaches to the tailpipe. A plastic tube is then run to the overflow nozzle on the gas tank. Treated exhaust gas is mixed with the gas in the tank. The catalized exhaust fumes are combustible and do not degrade the gasoline in the tank. It also cuts down on polution. It is a member of a class of catalysts known as IFS (Inertial Flatulence Suppositories). I also hear that Ripimoff Industries has hired the world famous Italian opera singer and wine connoisseur, Renaldi Moomerti, to represent them in their commercials. I can't wait to see these TV adds.

I frequently top-off with midrange or regular and have noted no ill effect on operation or economy, and I track mileage very closely.

Larry, that device you describe sounds like a winner. Right up there with the Tornado Supercharger and Platinum Ionizer. Of course the best of them is the Magnetic Polarity Diffusion Device, but these are getting hard to find as time marches on. Some folks have gotten great results by hanging a crystal pyramid by a string directly over the gas tank. This seems to work best if you drive along humming the Star Wars theme (any key will do). Anyway, we are all proud of the individual car diaries you are keeping to document the many innovations you are trying. By the way, have you tried nitrogen in your tires instead of common air? It might be a way to beat those high gas prices while helping to salvage the environment. Best wishes.

Preston,

It's good to hear from you.

Actually, I have been using helium in my tires. It makes the car lighter which both improves gas milage and acceleration. It also helps when fording swollen streams.

Chris,

Unfortunately, there is not enough bouyancy with the helium in the tires to make the SVX realy float with me in the car.
It floats without me in it.

It floats without me in it. I don't understand that, because I'm a pretty sh*tty guy and we all know that sh*t floats. So the SVX should float with me in it.
