I paid $2.06 for 87 Wednesday in Northwest MS. when I left for Atlanta. Paid $2.13 for 87 in Jasper Alabama later that day. When I got back home on Friday it was up to $2.29 for 87. It went up 23 cents in 2 days!!!!!!! :notnice: :notnice: :angry: :angry:

Yes, because my car is now tuned for it.

Tony, who tuned your car to run on premium? The dealer? What was involved? Is there a noticeable improvement in performance? If so, is it worth the extra cost of having to purchase more expensive fuel?

"Ford has tuned the knock sensors so well to the stock engine that the Spanish Oak is actually programmed with premium fuel ignition and fuel tables, but the car is sold as a regular fuel car. That means with reegular fuel, Ford is relying on the knock sensors to constantly maintain timing because the computer is trying to run aggressive, premium-fuel spark tables all the time"
I have noticed that the car runs smoother and without detonation on premium fuel. For me 2 dollars extra a tank once a week is a small price to pay for running what the engine is designed to run, it's cheap insurance.
But with the knock sensors you are unlikely to damage the engine running 87 so to each his own.

If I don't move over there, I'm going to create a new combustion chamber for my car to run off of urine

Yeah but buying all that beer to keep the urine flowing isn;t cheap either!

All it really is, is timing, I have been able to actually to advance it a little bit as well, although I may have to undo that sice the temps are in the stratosphere and if I stay put in traffic for awhile I'll get some pinging until some fresh air can start flowing thru again.
