Hi All,


FWIW


My first engine went at 93,000 miles and I only used 91 octane...  which
cost me about 30 cents more a gallon and the van gets about 19 mile to the
gallon so it cost me about $1500 more in gas for the first engine.  the
second engine went at 127,000 and I only used regular, so now I saved about
$2000 by not buying 91 octane gas, (ergo.... the new engine only now costs
$2000.  $4000 for the engine minus the gas cost savings).  All in all, if
you use regular all the time.... every other engine is FREE!
