very interesting here.......

Really, you need premium gas for that?
You would expect a luxury sports car to require high octane, but maybe not for these models

Was reading that earlier chris, alot of cars now have turbos to get more mpg's, but if you have to run premium are you really saving any money... Regular here is $3.86 and premium is $4.25

I think the car companies these days are working more for the oil companys, sure youll get better mpgs but you also gotta spend more

We used to go to West branch for a Harley-Davidson Hog run . Just love it around those area's and miss it. Thanks again for the nice shots

Yeah Rick, no problem. I absolutely love Northern Michigan too. Two of those shots are actually on the water from the boat.

It's the government, they're setting higher and higher mpg standards and car companies are doing whatever they can to reach them, same with the auto start stop technology thats showing up more.
