I don't care what you did or have done with your stupid ******* lawn mower, Aklim.
No worries at all. I too am sorry, that you can't read better.
Is this REALLY your take away from my objective data on the matter? Yikes. Now I have to wonder what you think my "case" is? Wow.

Explain how it proves that the difference between old vs new gas in that vehicle did not make a difference. Perhaps I missed that part? You sound like you know what you are talking about so do tell. Did you do back to back runs with BOTH new and old gas and come up with relatively similar time slips? Because THAT would solidify your case if you can honestly say it.

Don't be. Especially if it isn't real. I can read. I can't read between the lines and probably don't want to bother.
Yes. All I got is "my car set a. Record run on old gas.". If there is more, feel free to share the wealth.

I wish you had led with that before. Thanks for not rubbing my face with your vast knowledge. I guess I will have to ask one of the guys at the bar for an answer better than your storming off in a huff.

What spare parts said.What ever meets the criteria written on the fill spout, and also fills the tank all the way. A full tank displaces air, and thus, prevents water condensation. Also, don't start and IDLE THE CAR during the winter/storage period.
Tom is right again.

Thank you for all of the responses. Premium fuel is $.60 a gallon more around here so that was part of why I was asking the question. I have my answer, so no need to respond to this.
One thing I don't understand is why people (Aklim) feel compelled to get in a pissing match on totally irrelevant subjects!! They should start a separate thread and call it the "Lets talk **** about each other thread"

1. Why he is being singled out when there are others involved?
2. He didn't understand that the extra $10 a tank was such a burden or that you were running a fleet and need to make ends meet.
I stand behind what I said. You don't like my style? Tough. We aren't having sex, you don't contribute to my paycheck or you aren't a dog, you liking me doesn't matter. You have several ways to deal with it.
1. I mentally ignore people
2. You can use the "ignore" function if you are mentally unable to do #1
3. You can do #2 and try to make a scene like guys who are threatening to kill themselves by telling others "I'm going to jump"
I'm not your "whipping boy" to blame for your problems. AFAIK, it DOES take more than 1 hand to clap.

Wasn't trying that hard so appreciate the acknowledgement of trying.
I guess, if you need a whipping boy to blame for everything, why not? I guess you missed the part where I advised you to check the knock counts to determine. But if you can't do that, well, I guess I couldn't help you either.
