I'm nearly through that tank of mid-grade. The CEL is off and everything seems normal now. It may just be that my computer got "set in its ways" and took a while to accept that the fuel was...

The SS has been measured and proven to lose power when burning 87 instead of 91 or 93. It's a fact. If you can't feel a difference, that's due to your butt dyno not being sensitive enough.

Are there any other options? For instance, out here in Iowa, getting a concealed carry license (easy) means you can carry your gun in the car without worrying about a box or a trigger lock.
