My sales man asked if I wanted a free tank of gas before we got ready to ride out. I told him hell yeah. So we roll down there to the station, and guy proceeds to put in Regular Unleaded.

I flipped the **** out. Told him..."DOODE! I'm dropping $30k plus and you're trying to save what? a couple bucks by not putting Premium in?"

Guy had the sack to say that "the car could have either Regular or Premium in it because Chevy built it to accomidate either."

I hastily said, it would be Premium or nothing. He filled it with Premium and I later asked him where he had been misinformed of the Regular Unleaded being viable. I had taken my owners manual home the night before and nowhere had I seen anything like that.

Dude was floored and thought that you could put either in. I'm wondering how many Camaros went out with Regular since he's the dealerships "recognized Corvette and Camaro" salesman.

Prolly won't be there much longer I'd reckon.
