Lawrence, I had a microbus a long time ago...cool vehicle. Just curious, what's the price of a gallon of fuel in England...here in Michigan, it's about $3.25 for a gallon of regular. I'm afraid with all of the unrest going on in the Mideast, we're gonna get hit hard this summer. Fortunately, my classic cruiser is not a muscle car, so I don't have to burn premium in it.
Have you had any trouble blending with 8d's? I'd be surprised if you said yes....
