I only worry about octane when I'm driving against the wind in states that think they have higher altitudes than the average in NV, but sell 84 or 85 octane for the price of 87, then confuse the daylights out of me by offering corn free gas for 10ยข a gallon more.  I think I'll just get the 87 and be done with it.  

As for my nail bags, their demise relates to high humidity condition in the basement of my house in NJ.  It rotted them.  I had another pair that I bought in 1966 that lasted over 40 years.  I'm getting a new pair from Kline Tools like the old ones.  They should last until I'm 100, if I last that long, especially working on the top of patio roofs.

God Bless You - octane is not something I spend a lot of time on, nail bag different, I can connect with that and ladders and stuff I'm with you. I spin no yarns, not my style and not PC.

Yeah, but I'm a retired lawyer.  I don't bother setting people up anymore [especially in cross-examination, though it was fun to catch them spinning yarns].  I worry about big things, like why are my nail bags wearing out in the middle of a patio roof project and why is it so much harder to climb up on top to put down the 2x2's compared to when I was young.  .... and, of course, octane.

Don't set me up, I know you are a lawyer, pleading the 5th Bro. I still don't care, but I admire your effort.

You should see what Antwerp Chrysler in MD says about fuel.  Shoot, it's over a half a page and I fell asleep trying to read it all.

Dang, Mike, with an answer like that, makes me wonder if you are a politician or a lawyer.  I guess out here on the edge of Nowhere, we're a little more direct.  Confused

Oh and BTW - I'm not stopping at gas station to read the pump and decipher what some manufacture says about fuel, I don't know what's wrong with me, yes I do, I don't care.

Oh, come on Mike, you can say them.  Just use symbols in the middle of the words.  Cry  

Seriously, though, do you have some reason to disagree with what the Ford and Chrysler folks have published?
