Default That is so wierd isn't it. They sit around all day until a customer comes in, you would think they

could do things like RTFM etc. so they actually knew something.

Default not really... generally though, higher compression motors = higher octane fuels... one reason why

race engines with no cats run leaded race fuels or other fuels.

Default Re: 87 oct. OUCH...

I wasn't about to buy it, I just figured I would never be able to test drive a brand new one and drive it the way I did. So how would I know if I really liked it? Besides, this was a 2002 with 12500 miles and they wanted more than sticker price haha They wanted like $53K... good luck.

Yeah definitely very very nice, beats the **** out of my chipped A4... The tranny was kinda hard to get used to at first, and I thought the paddles shouldn't rotate with the steering wheel to make it easier to upshift when exiting a turn.

Yeah seriously, it was a Lincoln dealership so they didn't know sh*t. One guy told me they bought it at an auction and another said the guy traded it in for a Navigator.... can you say sketchy?

That's almost as bad as leaving the nozzle in the car and driving away. :-P

No, leaving the nozzle in and driving away is far worse. 8v)
