Good point Tim.
Not a lot of vehicles use high test today. Who knows how fresh it is in the big tanks. Maybe I'll ignore the dealers advice and use Stabil treated low octane.

The last 6 vehicles we've had all required "high test" (91 or better).


Same for our last 8 and our current two. You must lease, too.


No. My wife's previous job gave her company vehicles, and they were very generous. She's had Lexus, Audi, Mercedes, etc. I've had a few nice ones as well, including Porsche, Audi. Corvette, etc. Now in a Range Rover. More than 6 in recent years, but I didn't feel like doing the deep dive. I don't lease, but instead buy used with 40k miles or so at half price, and turn them over when the warranty runs out. I let the first owners take the depreciation, then the next deal with maintenance issues that may crop up later. It's working so far.
