Re: Oh no.......

It was about 2 hours, yeah...labor is a killer there. But atleast I have took my car to them twice and both times they fix it right the first time. I guess that's the bright side to paying incrediable labor fees. Around here in the boondocks of arkansas/missouri there's no decent mechanics that I would trust my car with. They all seem to work on "77 chevy pick ups and have no idea what a turbo is. If it ain't a chevy/30 years old they can't fix it. A good 90% of local mechanics here have about 19 cars out back. And I ain't shittin' ya. Ah well...glad to have my car back.

Cheers
Ben

Re: Oh no.......

I can get 93 at about 95% of the gas stations. I also have a place that sells 94, and I can get 105 race gas and higher if I want to. The race gas runs about $4-5 a gallon. Meanwhile I pay about 1.54 for 93 octane right now. Dirt track racing is popular around here so that's why race gas and higher octane gas is easy to come by. Also I guess we don't have the smog rules cali does either.

Cheers
Ben
