False.

I have an economy map/ tune I created and then programed on my accessport and get 34mpg on the highway. I get around 27 if I'm driving on a regular tune. Keep the car out of boost and drive like you want to get good mpg in a Subaru and you will.

Wrong. My DD is a 1/2 ton, but I'm not pulling around any fertilizer with anything less than 3/4.

Plus, I'm pretty sure I'm younger than you, so I will be the last one...

I'm always wondering if I could break even with the saved fuel in my paid-off 2002 Silverado and a buying a Focus. And that wouldn't be the end of it. But I've rented lots of them and I really think they're kind of awesome (for what they are). But yeah, the truck is thirsty, but paid-off.... Ugh!

I know. Don't get me wrong. My top choice in vehicle is a big ass truck, which I will own someday, but as it goes now, the Tacoma is killing me. Sometimes I can't eat because I need gas.

I believe this is my first encounter with someone who actually is seriously considering purchasing a fiat

unless you are just trolling.

Premium helps prevent the knocking and pinging you hear when fuel ignites as it's compressed in an engine cylinder before the spark plug fires. Knocking and pinging can damage your engine. Left unattended, it can burn a hole through a piston head.

Octane ratings can be increased using additives including methyl tertiary-butyl ether, ethyl-tertiary butyl ether and toluene. Until the 1970s, tetra-ethyl lead —as in "leaded gas" — was used to boost octane ratings. Leaded gas today is a pariah fuel in most developed nations because of its links to the damaging lead levels it has contributed to human bloodstreams.

Engines with a high compression ratio — typically sport and luxury models —are more prone to knocking, which is why manufacturers of those vehicles recommend or require you use high-octane gas.

Taking car advice from Donger might not be the best idea.

Oh we get to change tunes now? This guy is gonna buy a Subi and an accessport, plus have someone do a custom tune so he can get somewhat close to what cheaper subcompacts are doing stock?

Plus, who the **** stays out of boost in a WRX?

Those are fine choices, a brand new base fiesta can be had for $17,5-18 and pull 40mpg.

Yup and with a stick its fun to drive. I've said it before and will say it again, when my IT guy comes knocking on my door one day saying 'WTF IS CHIEFSPLANET'

I'm going to try and convince him its time spent drumming up prospects.

Now if only I had a CP sale to show for it~

Yeah I guess if it came down to eating or drivng a truck a guy would have to eat. I'll tell you this, I think I would be down to skin and bones before I gave it up though. I would have one hell of a time pulling my toy trailer with a roo.

As far as octane goes, putting 87 octane in a so called 'premium only' vehicle will not hurt it, but could affect your MPG. The ECU will compensate "IF" it detects knock or ping and will cut back the timing some, which could have a slight effect on MPG. Any time its doing, this you are probably running the piss out of it anyway in order to even create a situation where your ECU would have to pull timing to compensate for knock.

In most cases, you will never see a problem.

Conversely, putting a higher octane gas in your 87 octane tuned car wont do a damn thing for you except waste money.
