The problem isn't the workers, mostly management's and slightly the
union's errors.

That is YOUR opinion, please dont spread that homophobic crap on the rest of
us. I tell ya, you are about as smart and worthless as the KKK. I am as
straight as they come, but I have known both Homosexual men and women, and
they are the same as you and I, only difference is their sexual preference..
So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

You my friend can fall in with that worthless POS "Old Man". You predujicial
POS. Like I said, I am as straight as they come, but you need to learn to
treat all people fairly. Ford is just doing what most would consider a "good
business practice".

Or used better gas. Lower octane fuel cause valves to vibrate in seats
when it knocks even below a audible level. This leads to erosion and
togehter with higher exhaust temps from retarded spark timing needed
with lower octane fuel, leads to eventual burning of valves. They do
not tell you that though.

The octane rating needed is clearly stated in the owners manual. If
higher octane than what is in the owners manual is needed, then the
resulting failures is still the manufacturer's fault.

Ya'll are worring about the least thing just like our Governement! You need
to ask yourselves. Why after Ford has posted a $12.7B dollar loss why are
they still going to give Bonus and Compensation package to the upper
Management as they're taking from the Workers I don't care which way you
look at it the workers are the ones putting the Vehicle together, I would
love to see Mr. Bill Ford come on down lets strap that fender to the side of
that new Ford Shelby GT 500 with out scratching it. This is what ya'll need
to be worried about asking why were loosing our Benifits as they keep
theirs. ask yourselves why our pay has not gone up as fast as theirs. Ask
yourselve how a company can file Bankrupcy an turn around and give their new
CEO a $9M sign on bonus.

They need to get and keep people who may be able to help them.
Obviously they don't feel those they are letting go will be needed.

Regular fuel is fine if the engine is designed for it.
I notice some engines with a CR too high for regular octane specify
regular can be used. Sure let it knock so we can adjust it, a sure way
to the troubles you mention.
IMO Toyota's Camry 3.5L V6 has too high a CR for the specified regular
fuel.
I Emailed Toyota about this and they said premium fuel is needed for
best performance. We could add for longer engine life eh!
