Damn. 20 miles just for gas? I hope you feel it's worth it. If you're not having the same problem as me, you might save a little bit of money by just pumping 91 and throwing in octane booster.

Screw that, it would cost anywhere from $20-$50 extra per tank in octane booster just to raise it 2 pts. Beside he might be already really running 93, octane numbers are listed as the lowest allowed for that pump and anyone who buys good gas already gets over that since most run higher than posted for legal reasons.

I drive 20 miles for 93, cheaper than 91 in small town.

They have a great hillbilly shop here- 60 miles south of you on 61, but wouldn't be much cheaper than $600 guessing. Trying to stay way from NAPA parts here though.
Anyway the shop rebuilt a front wheel drive (v6) automatic trans on a car for me - $1200 included r+r. I couldn't believe it.

Damn dude, I like Atlanta. Why did you choose Dubuque and Iowa?

You drove through where I grew up, Bloomfield, NM. I hate that place with a passion.
