  1. I used 89 octane and my MPG has gone up 3 ticks already

    There's always some degree of extremely fine particulates in the gasoline, that after a long time eventually settle on the bottom. The same is true for pretty much all petroleum liquids. They're called "tank bottoms", and the older the tank the more bottom material has probably settled. If the...

  2. I used 89 octane and my MPG has gone up 3 ticks already

    Correct - and excellent points. Ethanol is less energy dense than petroleum-based motor gasoline. The blend rate for ethanol and octane is indeed not linear.

The bolt in question is one covered in paint on the exterior of the door, but the...

  6. "first right of refusal" dealership sold my order without ever contacting me

    Any ideas and advice on making sure this doesn't happen? My truck is scheduled week of June 26th, but I will be out of the country until July 7th. Has anyone been able to work with their dealer on making sure they HOLD the truck you 100% intent to purchase?
