and in reference to the comments about octane booster, I mentioned a good one, there are horse liniment treatments out there, but there are also some good ones...
No worries, to each his own.

$3.90 Wow that cheap!! Lol

Did the same one time after working all night when I had my magnacharged 6.0 Silverado. I dumped 2 bottles octane booster in it and drove it easy until tank empty. At 14mpg it did not take long. Lol

Anyhow I wouldn't worry about it to much. Call Jannetty to see what they say.
Haha glad im not the only one, I think my wife would have to walk everywhere if I did not fill up the cars. Lucky for me mines a 6 speed and she cant drive stick.

I would never consider letting my husband put gas in my SS. To be honest, I'd never let him drive it if I wasn't with him in the car. I am also not exactly thrilled about him riding in it (fortunately, he rarely does). He is just so careless about everything. Men!

Don't use Octane boost. Worthless. I bet if I made a product called "HORZEPOWA JUICE" and just put water in a little bottle with a flashy label people would buy it like crazy.

Stay away from aggressive accelerationg and WOT, and make sure you get a full 93 fill on your next trip to the gas station.

We have unleaded 100 octane up here, so if I made the mistake of letting someone A. Drive my car and B. put bad gas in it, I would probably fill up half a tank of that in the meanwhile.

You are right, I mean I don't see any reason to be upset with her. I mean it's not like that could actually blow the motor in your very expensive car and cause you to have to spend $5,000-$10,000 dollars to repair it. Oh wait, that's exactly what could happen. And love/family or not, there is plenty of reason to be upset.

Octane boost? Seriously? I thought we were better than this. Stand at the end of your driveway and tear up a handful of five-dollar bills. It will have the same effect on your car as the "octane boost".

I think you messed up that first sentence... It should read "Just remember she's your car and its just a wife".



Just kidding ladies....
