What part of "Stock boy" do you NOT understand?

Yeah, premium is 93 octane here, too. I routinely top-off with either regular or mid-range if my previous fill-up was with premium and the gauge reads better than one-half tank. No issues.

Come on, no one will know! Plus it's not even a visable mod. The last I knew the "Evil Twin" wasn't exactly stock anyway.

My daughter's driving the Evil Twin -- so, I remain, <da,da,da,da!> STOCKBOY!

I need some zebra striped leotards and a t-shirt with a big "S" on it

...but I know there are many people on this site who could come up with a decent theme for "Stockboy"

(or else maybe give Wayne Brady a call)

I know I'm splittin' hairs, BUT, this 80 mile per day round trip is killin' me.

Say WHAT?! Our owners manual says I should be putting minimum 95 in my tank. We switched to 98 four years ago and saw improvement. Mechanic said either one was fine, although better performance with the 98.

Is it possible that our ROZ (octane) ratings are calculated differently than in North America? Or that our European version is tuned differently? Am I making a blond boo-boo?

Calculated differently.

Seriously F'ed up. today I brought home a dealer plate so I could drive the Imprezza and BRAT all weekend becouse both run on piss gas and get 30MPG.

My wife filled up her Baja today at $50!!!!!!! A few months ago it cost $50 to fill up my moms Silverado with 87.!!!!!!! WTF? I had to put gas in the Imprezza on my way home today and figured $30 would fill it; it got me 9.97GAL!!! for 87 piss gas!!!!!!!!


This has got to friggen change or I need to get a hugh raise, or I'm gonna head to D.C. to siphon out Georges helly and A.F.1

Ahhh.... thanks. I just never realised that the octane ratings were calculated differently. Didn't think much at all about it actually. One more thing to add to my "things to read/learn about on the internet" list.

Thanks again
