I had planned to keep my Maverick till. Well till happened after four months and nineteen days after I got it. My dealer offered me five thousand dollars over my purchase price. Six if I traded it in. Drove home that day with a brand new Bronco Sport. Hot Pepper Red and a much lower payment...
This is an honest question. At one time it was said use AC vs rolling down windows. The weight of the AC equipment created less of a fuel penalty than disturbing the air flow. I let my Maverick decide what to do. I set it on auto at 70 to 72. One less thing to do.
Don't do much capital gain taxes do you.
? I have a 1971 SS 396 Chevelle to sell, never been driven. Think I am going to sell it for less than sticker? That would qualify for capital gain tax. Bought as an investment not personal use.
Personal use property is not subject to tax. You buy stock and make money you report a gain, you lose money you may have a deductible loss.(there are more to it than that). Buy a collectable auto and then sell it you can have a gain or loss. Not a personal use auto.
Capital gains are on investments not personal purchases. Unless they bought it as an investment. Mavericks are not investment quality. Especially since it was bought to drive. Unless things have changed since I was in the IRS.
If you are happy go far it. If your two liter puts out over 300 hp then you need a higher octane than 87. Otherwise you are doing what you feel comfortable. So be happy and enjoy life.
100+ is for drag racing or pure ethanol. Part of his problem maybe as stated it could be bad gas. Ethanol absorbs water. There are additives that will take water out. Ethanol boosts octane.
