Uhohs.
Teh oh noes are happening.
Gas prices have yet to fall, HOWEVER, Alaskan gas provider peoples no longer import my sweet 92 octane fuel drink. Dropped 2 points to 90, which is one point below the recommended 91. What the hell do I do about this? I am considering going back to octane booster, putting in like a quarter to a third measure of treatment. Necessary? Helpful? Detrimental? I asked the chick at the gas place and she said it was because it was too spensive and something about being a health hazard, which seems like utter BS to me. Anyone know? On the upside I finally got an appraisel on my damage (rear end, car). Results soon to come.

I imagine the car will be ok with 90 OC. Just expect a small power drop as the ECU adjusts to the lower quality fuel. As soon as the good stuff comes back. run a tank or 2 of it, then reset your ECU. The WRx is supose to run on the good stuff to, however it can be run on 89, it just drops the power down to compensate.

I actually haven't noticed power loss or anything out of the ordinary.
The good drink is also probably not going to come back.
