Daughter just gassed up her Mitsu with premium. Said it's up 40

That CraigCat is looking better.


Why premium?

Car calls for it. She says it doesn't run good on regular.
It's the 3.0L.
She insisted on that car - chick car.
Her money - mostly.

Forgive me if this story is a repeat. Can't remember if I told it here
before. Comes with the territory, if you know what I mean.


My wife is a Lincoln Navigator freak. She's had three (maybe four) of
them. The current one is a 2008 model and it calls for premium fuel,
according to the owner's manual.

Anyway, I was a passenger in it while she drove a few months ago. She
was giving me a ride to or from someplace.
This was back when fuel prices were climbing daily.

As she drove, I noticed that her left directional (blinker) was operating
at a very slow cycle compared to the right directional.
I mentioned to her that she should check the lights in her blinkers
because it appeared that one of them on the left side was probably burned
out.

Her response?

"Oh, is *that* what it is? I noticed it before, but figured it was
because I've been using regular gas instead of premium."

Not a joke.

Well....was it the gas or a burned out bulb? 8)
