I just love posters who demand a black or white answer. The answer is
I don't like to toss money out the window. Of course I can afford the
car. I also can afford to fill it up with premium. But, if you add
up $4.00 *ISH* for each week of the year, then that's real money. I
do, however, agree with your first statement about less power and the
engine running as it should.
